Answer 2

Answer:

An atom is a particle of matter that uniquely defines achemical element. An atom consists of a central nucleus that is usually surrounded by one or more electrons. The nucleus is positively charged, and contains one or more relatively heavy particles known as protons and neutrons. A proton is positively charged.

Atoms can not exist independently. This is because atoms accept electrons or donate electrons to form stable octet fulfilled electronic configurations and this is only possible by formation of molecules. So atoms cannot exist along.
