Introduction to the Atom
First, we'll need to create our own page by clicking on the "New Page" button in the upper left corner of the page. Name the page after yourself, including your first name and at least your last initial; such as "John's Page" or "Melissa and Alison's Page" or simply "John S.". Once you've created your page, you need to collect information on the Atom.

//**MAKE SURE YOU ADD A LINK TO THE PAGE WHERE YOU FOUND YOUR INFORMATION OR YOU WON'T GET THE POINTS!!!**//

Split your page into 2 sections: For a bonus point:
 * 1) History of the Atom (5pts)
 * Find out the important scientists who contributed to our current knowledge of the atom. robert hooke sir isaac newton []
 * Find out the important experiments that were used to make breakthrough discoveries. **Robert Hooke** was an English scientist who made contributions to many different fields including mathematics, optics, mechanics, architecture and astronomy. He had a famous quarrel with Newton...**Isaac Newton** was the greatest English mathematician of his generation. He laid the foundation for differential and integral calculus. His work on optics and gravitation make him one of the greatest scientists the world has known.

 * Include years of each discovery/experiment so we can get an idea of how long this process has taken. robert hooke 1635-1703 sir isaac newton 1643-1727
 * 1) Atomic Structure (5pts)
 * What are the different parts of the atom? An atom is the smallest particle of a element that has all the properties of that element. []
 * Wher are they located? They use mathematical equations to represent the likelihood of finding electrons in various parts of the atom and to describe the structure of the atomic nucleus, in which protons and neutrons exist.
 * What makes atoms of different elements different? All matter, such as solids, liquids and gases, is composed of **atoms**. Any material that is composed of only one type of atom is called a **chemical element**, a basic element, or just an element. An atom is the smallest particle of any element that still retains the characteristics of that element.http://www.ndt-ed.org/EducationResources/HighSchool/Radiography/atomselements.htm
