What Love Is II

Matter is anything that has weight and occupies space, generally speaking. And every matter is an element, a mixture or a compound. If a substance is a compound, it is made up of two or more elements, held together in a bond, generally electrovalent and covalent bond. There is attraction between the elements at the atomic level.

There are over a hundred elements that have been recognized, but a particular element does not combine with just any other element to form a compound. A particular element can only combine with a select few, and among these select few, there is one or two with the greatest degree of compatibility. In other words a particular element only loves a select few among other elements and there is one or two it loves the most. And it cannot be with the one it does not love – only human beings have been found to be able to do that. So compounds are formed between elements that have love for one another.

The atom is the smallest indivisible part of an element which when broken further results in particles that cannot be any particular element. These particles are the basics, the fundamental particles of every atom, defining elements only by their numbers and proportion at any particular point in time. You see, breaking up any atom gives three basic particles which are
·         Protons
·         Electrons
·         Neutrons
Every atom of every element has them. What makes say an atom of hydrogen different from an atom of oxygen is the number of each of these particles. A typical hydrogen atom contains:
One proton
One electron
One neutron

A typical oxygen atom contains
Eight protons
Eight electrons
Eight neutrons

Inside each atom, protons have positive charge, electrons have negative, and neutrons are neutral. An atom exists when neutron and protons reside in a nucleus that is orbited by an electron. That means that a nucleus is made of protons and neutrons. The positive charge of the protons makes them attractive - loved by -electrons. This force of attraction - love - holds the electrons around the nucleus creating a neutral atom.

The electron moves round a nucleus the same way a planet moves around a planet. Same force of attraction, same love, but this time setting up a physics that is not gravity.
