.What did the first Atom say to the other?
Poca, that's because they like to teach you one thing in your chem class, then next chem class tell you it's wrong, teach the special 15 atoms that aren't like that, and then teach you another thing (which eventually turns out to be wrong).
An atom consists of three major parts:
Proton: A big positively charged particle with one atomic mass unit weight.
Neutron: A big particle with no charge with one atomic mass unit weight.
Electron: A little tiny particle with a negative charge that circles the nucleus
with so little atomic mass unit weight that they are usually not factored in.
A nucleus is the group of protons and neutrons at the center of the atom.
An atom's element is defined by the number of protons it has. I.E. Carbon atoms always have 6.
An isotope is a specific type of the atom with a certain number of neutrons.
IE: Carbon 14, Carbon 60, etc. (I believe that Carbon 14 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons, making it carbon 14, or making it a carbon atom with an atomic mass of 14.)
Therefore, this joke makes sense.
If an atom is neutral (same number of protons and electrons [which is how most are]) and loses one electron, it's positive charge becomes greater than it's negative and it becomes positive.

There is someone who knows what he is talking aboutHobbs wrote:Poca, that's because they like to teach you one thing in your chem class, then next chem class tell you it's wrong
Here are some memorable quotes from my classes:
"Remember all that stuff you learned in chem? It is all wrong."
"Let's say you are moving at 100 mi/hr, how fast are you moving? Depends."
"Does light weigh anything? Depends if you look at it or not."
"Let's say you have a 20 foot long bus, how long is it? Depends how fast its going."
"Lightning strikes the back of a moving (very very fast, relatively close to the speed of light) train. Where did the lightning hit the train? Depends where you are standing."
Physics and Chemistry o how I hate you!

I never took a chem class in my life.... completly avoided it in highschool because i found out you had to memorize a whole bunch of completly useless crap....
My one buddy was always studyin for that class, (telling me things i didn't want to know) because he wanted to be a brain surgeon, turns out he didn't do so hot in it either and is going to be a bone surgeon instead

No, not one thing in highschool, then another in college, etc.
It's more like you take Chem at HS, and they teach you stuff.
Then, you take Chem 108 or whatever at your college, and they teach you that some of the stuff you were just taught in HS is wrong.
Then, you take Chem 120 or whatever at your college, and they teach you that 1/4th of what you learned in the last class was wrong.
And so on.
As far as Azool's comment, that's mostly physics. Light, Movement, Rates of Change.
