Is an atom hard?
Atoms are even harder because it is occupied by a matter field that resists other matter (though not alpha rays). Protons and neutrons are even harder because they are occupied by a matter field that resists other matter (though not fast leptons).
Is the atom powerful?
The Atom is one of the few heroes in the DC Universe that has 100\% control over his body on the molecular level (Plastic Man being another), thus making him exponentially more powerful than he is often portrayed; he is limited only by his application of his powers.
How much power is in an atom?
You have 6.02 x 10^23 times 30, or about 1.8 x 10^25, fissionable atoms. That means 1,800,000,000,000 joules of energy.

So we aim to fire a neutron at the nucleus of a uranium atom traveling relatively slowly on atomic terms it splits producing a large amount of energy and also three more neutrons.
Do atoms never touch?
Because electrons don’t collide, they repel each other from a distance. Atoms do bond together covalently, in which case they share electrons; but the electrons still aren’t “touching”. For that matter, you don’t really touch anything; the electrons in your finger repel the electrons in the thing you try to touch.
Can an atom contain a universe?
The story of the Universe is inside every atom in your body, each and every one. And after 13.8 billion years, 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 of them have come together, and that’s you. You, a Universe of atoms, an atom in this Universe.
What does it take to split an atom?
To split an atom a neutron, travelling at just the right speed, is shot at the nucleus. Under the right conditions the nucleus splits into two pieces and energy is released. This process is called nuclear fission. The energy released in splitting just one atom is miniscule.
