Atom was considered an indivisible particle of matter until some decades back, But incessant efforts of scientists have proved it wrong. It consists of three parts: electron, proton and neutron. Electron is the most significant and powerful of all, which carries negative charge and remains in motion unstopped. Its motion provides energy, which has revolutionized the whole life of man. Today, it constitutes an independent and autonomous world of its own right, known as Electronic World, However, scientists succeeded in breaking this seemingly the smallest and indivisible particle because of their unstopped trial and error experiments. when it broke, it produced vast energy, which opened up further windows of insight and opportunities for the future utilization of atomic power. The parts were named quark. They are of two kinds: lower quark and upper quark. But, scientists do not seem to be contented with this victory. Now, they look forward to breaking even quark. This modest work throws abundant light on such issues and offers a range of various other matters in simple and interesting style. It should draw the attention of the intellectuals and offer an interesting read.
