Currently the reason for the existence of atoms, and how they are made on the most basic level, is unknown. We do know that they are comoposed of electrons, neutrons and protons. The initial creation of matter is unknown but all atoms other than hydrogen are believed to have been created in fussion, which can only take place in extreme conditions such as in stars and requires alot of energy.

Which part of the atom 'moves' electricity?
Electrons are the particles that move to carry electricity within an atom. They have a negative charge and are located in the outer shells of an atom. When electrons flow, they create an electric current.
When an atom gains an electron to create full valence it results in that atom having a net charge of what?
When an atom gains an electron to fill its valence shell, it becomes negatively charged and is called an anion. An anion has a net charge of -1 due to the additional electron it gained.
How can one create atom models effectively?
To create atom models effectively, one can use materials like clay, beads, or paper to represent the different parts of an atom. Start by identifying the nucleus, made up of protons and neutrons, and then add electrons in energy levels around the nucleus. Use different colors or sizes to differentiate between the particles. Remember to research the specific atom you are modeling to accurately represent its structure.
Design a neutral stable atom using the simulator build an atom on the phet website with a mass of 8 what is the number of protons electrons and neutrons in the atom?
To design a neutral stable atom with a mass of 8, you could create an oxygen atom. An oxygen atom has 8 protons, 8 electrons, and 8 neutrons, which gives it a mass number of 16. This configuration ensures the atom is neutral and stable.
Use a diagram to show ions are formed when a sodium atom comes into close contact with a chlorine atom?
I'm unable to create diagrams. When a sodium atom comes into close contact with a chlorine atom, the sodium atom donates one electron to the chlorine atom. This results in the sodium atom forming a positively charged sodium ion (Na+) and the chlorine atom forming a negatively charged chloride ion (Cl-), as they achieve stable electron configurations.
