MOLECULES & ATOMS
NEUTRONS, PROTONS & ELECTRONS
To understand both the detail and the perspective of the process through which knowledge is gathered, organized and classified, it seems essential for the student to begin with the smallest and simplest particles of physical matter, because these are the A B C's with which Nature has constructed the entire frame-work of the physical portion of the universe.
​
An atom is the most basic form of matter. Atoms were believed to be the smallest particles that could exist when they were first discovered. The word "atom" is derived from the Greek word for "indivisible" because something that is already the smallest possible size cannot be divided. We now know that there are particles smaller than atoms and that, despite the origin of their name, they can be divided. We now know this, because splitting atoms creates energy that we harvest through a process called nuclear fusion.
​
The molecule consists of atoms, which are simply said to be little invisible particles of matter revolving continuously with the speed of lightning, on exactly the same principle that the earth revolves around the sun.

These little particles of matter known as atoms, which revolve in one continuous circuit, in the molecule, are said to be made up of neutrons, electrons and protons, the smallest particles of physical matter. As already stated, the electron and proton is nothing but two forms of force.
The electron and proton is uniform, of but one class, size and nature; thus in a grain of sand or a drop of water the entire principle upon which the whole universe operates is duplicated.

How Marvelous! How Stupendous!

Structure of the Atom
​
Every atom contains three kinds of subatomic particles:
-
electrons
-
protons
-
neutrons
Protons and neutrons form the nucleus in the center of an atom, while electrons are in constant motion around the nucleus.
Subatomic particles are made up of even smaller particles known as quarks.
Quarks are so small that they can't be seen. Scientists only know quarks exist by observing their effects on surrounding particles. more on atoms...

You may gather some slight idea of the magnitude of it all the next time you eat a meal, by remembering that every article of food you eat, the plate on which you eat it, the tableware and the table itself are, in final analysis, but a collection of - PROTRONS, NEUTRONS & ELECTRONS.
In the world of physical matter, whether one is looking at the largest star that floats through the heavens or the smallest grain of sand to be found on earth, the object under observation is but an organized collection of molecules, which are made up of atoms, which are made up of neutrons, protons and electrons revolving around one another at inconceivable speed.
Every particle of physical matter is in a continuous state of highly agitated motion.
Nothing is ever still, although nearly all physical matter may appear, to the physical eye, to be motionless. There is no "solid" physical matter.
The hardest piece of steel is but an organized mass of revolving molecules, which are made up of atoms, which are made up of neutrons, protons & electrons.
Moreover, the neutrons, protons and electrons in a piece of steel are of the same nature, and move at the same rate of speed as the neutrons, protons and electrons in gold, silver, brass or pewter.
The forms of physical matter appear to be different from one another, and they are different, because they are made up of different combinations of atoms (although the neutrons, protons and electrons in these atoms are always the same, except that electrons are negative, and protons carry a positive charge of electrification.
Through the science of chemistry, matter may be broken up into atoms which are, within themselves, unchangeable.
The elements are created through and by reason of combining
and changing of the positions of the atoms.
To illustrate the modus operandi of chemistry through which this change of atomic position is wrought, in terms of modern science:
​
-
Add 2 protons (2 + positive) and
2 electrons (2 - negative) to the hydrogen atom,
= and you have the element we call lithium; then simply
-
knock out of the lithium atom
(which is composed of 3 positive protons & 3 negative electrons)
now you have 1 positive proton and 1 negative electron,
and you now have 1 atom of helium (which is composed of 2 positive protons & 2 negative electrons).
Thus it may be seen that the physical elements of the universe differ from one another only in the number of protons and electrons composing their atoms, and the number and arrangement of those atoms in the molecules of each element.
​
As an illustration, an atom of mercury contains 80 positive proton charges in its nucleus, and 80 negative electrons outlying charges. If the chemist were to expel 2 of its positive protons it would instantly become the metal known as platinum.
​
If the chemist could then go a step further and take from it a negative ("planetary") electron, the mercury atom would then have lost 2 positive protons and 1 negative electron; that is, 1 positive charge on the whole; hence it would retain 79 positive proton charges in the nucleus and 79 outlying negative electrons, thereby becoming GOLD!
The formula through which this electronic change might be produced has been the object of diligent search by the alchemists all down the ages
and by the modern chemists of today.
​
It is a fact known to every chemist that literally millions of synthetic substances may be
composed out of only four kinds of atoms,
-
hydrogen,
-
oxygen,
-
nitrogen,
-
carbon.
Differences in the number of protons and electrons in atoms confer upon them qualitative (chemical) differences, though all atoms of any one element are chemically alike.
Differences in the number and spacial arrangement of these atoms (in groups of molecules) constitute both physical and chemical differences in substances, i.e., in compounds.
Quite different substances are produced by combinations of precisely the same kinds of atoms, but in different proportions. Take from a molecule of certain substances one single atom, and they may be changed from a compound necessary to life and growth - into a deadly poison.
Phosphorus is an element, and thus contains but one kind of atoms; but some phosphorus is yellow and some is red, varying with the spacial distribution of the atoms in the molecules composing the phosphorus.
It may be stated as a literal truth that the Atom is the universal particle with which Nature builds all material forms, from a grain of sand to the largest star that floats through space.
The Atom is Nature's "building block" out of which she erects an oak tree
or a pine, a rock of sandstone or granite, a mouse or an elephant.
Some of the ablest thinkers have reasoned that the earth on which we live, and every material particle on the earth, began with two atoms which attached themselves to each other, and through hundreds of millions of years of flight through space, kept contacting and accumulating other atoms until, step by step, the earth was formed.
This, they point out, would account for the various and differing strata of the earth's substances, such as the oil fields, coal beds, the iron ore deposits, the gold and silver deposits, the copper deposits, etc.
They reason that, as the earth whirled through space, it contacted groups of various kinds of nebulae, or "Atoms", which it promptly appropriated, through the law of magnetic attraction. There is much to be seen, in the earth's surface composition, to support this theory, although there may be no positive evidence of its soundness.
These facts concerning the smallest analyzable particles of matter have been briefly referred to as a starting point from which we shall undertake to ascertain how to develop and apply the law of POWER.
