Tom-the-Atom represents the Carbon Atom, the most crucial atom in the Universe. A series of illustrated science books for children and adolescents. The young reader will become familiar with the world of atoms, which make up all the material in the Universe; the Earth, the planets, the stars, and you and me. The young reader is invited to become part of the World of Atoms and to develop his/her understanding of how atoms form everything. Tom the Atom, Book 4: Water matters!Tom the Atom introduces to Henry, Mary, and you two additional siblings, from his same family of the Non-Metals: tiny Hydrogen and ample Oxygen. When two Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen atom make a firm handshake (covalent bond), the three atoms produce a water molecule to quench your thirst.

Tom the Atom Book 4: Water Matters.Tom-the-Atom (Carbon atom) introduces to Mary and Henry two brothers, from his same family of Non-Metals: Hydrogen and Oxygen. Henry, Mary, and Tom-the-Atom--by holding hands and saying the magic words-- shrink to a minuscule size. They land in the World of Atoms. Tom-the-Atom introduces, to Mary and Henry, the Hydrogen and Oxygen atoms--his brothers from the same Non-Metals family- and the concept of molecules. Hydrogen has one valence electron or "hand" and one "empty sleeve" (two "hands" or valence electrons will make his small, first, and the only shell full). Oxygen has six "hands" and two "empty sleeves" [eight valence electrons will make his outer (second) shell complete]. The two Hydrogen (H) atoms share one "hand" and one "empty sleeve" with the oxygen (O) atom to form a water molecule (H2O; i.e., H-O-H). Water is a very happy and stable molecule. It is an essential molecule in the world because life could not exist without water. Do you know that more than 65% of your body is water? Water is crucial to life and has many beautiful properties.

Tom-the-Atom introduces two brothers, from his same family of Non-Metals: Hydrogen and Oxygen. Oxygen has six "hands" and two "empty sleeves" [eight "hands" or valence electrons will make his outermost and second shell complete]. Hydrogen is a very tiny atom. He has only one electron in his only and outermost shell. That shell only accommodates two electrons. Accordingly, small Hydrogen has one "hand" and one "empty sleeve" each. Each Hydrogen gets a "hand" from Oxygen slid in his "empty sleeve." Oxygen atom also receives from each Hydrogen one "hand" in each of his two "empty sleeves." Oxygen is complete with 8 "hands" (6 of him and one of each one of the two Hydrogens). Also, each Hydrogen will have one "hand" of their own and one "hand" from Oxygen to be complete with two "hands" in his only shell. Together they form a water molecule (H2O; i.e., H-O-H).Water is a very happy and stable molecule. It is an essential molecule in the world because life could not exist without water.

You, Mary, and Henry go to visit Tom-the-Atom World to meet Silicon and learn about Semiconductors. This time they visit the town where atoms live. They stop at the beautiful and wealthy neighborhood of the Semi-Metals. The community is small. Tom-the-Atom calls out to Silicon. He is in the Periodic Table in Column 14 or Group 4A. I.e.., he has 4 valence electrons in his outermost shell/subshells. He is the 3rd row, just below that Tom-the-Atom, Carbon. Silicon is in the 3rd row (or Period), meaning he has 3 shells. Silicon is dressed very wealthily and shows us his outside market. Easy to figure it out how versatile and essential it is for human.

Copper is a colorful member of the Transition Metal family, Group 3B, a brother of Iron. He is used to reinforcing the concept of Oxidation States in atoms. Not all metals exist in Nature as pure metals. Copper is one of the few metals that can be found as a native metal (Copper atoms together) or forming compounds with other atoms. Tom-the-Atom introduces the concept of Metal Alloys. Copper is widely used because he is easily made into wires (it is malleable), and it is an excellent conductor of electricity and heat. That is why it is used for the wiring in your home. One alloy of Copper called Bronze was so popular among humans that it gave a name to an era as the "Bronze Era."

You, Henry, and Mary learned that atoms belong to 10 families. That they are a total of 92 atoms. Only 92 in the entire Universe! But each one has many twins (tuples). In shape, atoms are round. They have a tiny, massive belly full of Protons and Neutrons. Outside their nucleus or belly, they have from one to 7 belts filled with Electrons. Protons are positive, neutrons do not have a charge, and electrons are negative. The number of protons in their belly equals the total number of small electrons in their shells (or belts). The number of protons and neutrons in their belly gives their weight. The number of shells determines their size. All shells are full, but the last one that can be or not complete. The electrons in the outermost shell are called valence electrons. The number of electrons in their outermost shell (usually from one to eight) dictates the atoms' Character. Tom calls those valence electrons "hands" and the lack of them in that outermost shell called "empty sleeves."

Noble Gas atoms do not interact with other atoms, because their valence shell (or subshells) is FULL. Members of the Noble Gases family have all their shells, including their outermost valence shell full of electrons to their rim. They do not need to "handshake" with any other atom to borrow or give away electrons; that is why they are not reactive and do not need to shake hands! They do not form chemical bonds with anyone. They are a family of 6 existing siblings. In the family of Noble Gases, the atom's outer shell has no "empty sleeve." The concept of inert gas is explained. The idea of shell and sub-shells and how the sub-shells are arranged, when atoms have more than 3 shells, is revealed.

Henry and Mary had a beautiful Saturday at their home playing with their school friends and reviewing what they had learned in Tom-the-Atom's World. Henry and his friends play with the concept of Carbon (Tom-the-Atom) atoms and covalent bonds. Carbon atoms alone can form different materials from a piece of graphite to a diamond, just by handshaking four or three times at once with his tuples (identical atoms).While Mary introduced, to her friends, the idea of molecules, she explains that water molecules have a distinctive shape like a Mickey Mouse face. An enjoyable day!
