caters Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I am wanting to write a chemistry book with a little fictional spinoff. It will be a story about a person as small as a proton and with a pencil as small as a quark(which is about 1/3 the size of a proton) discovering things in chemistry. Okay maybe the pencil is smaller than a quark 1/3 the size of a proton. Hmm Come to think of it up quarks are much less than 1/3 of a proton so maybe it is the size of an up quark. The person even discovers oxygen chains that are similar to alkanes(single bond carbon chains). He decides that these oxygen chains should be called oxanes and oxygen rings called cyclooxanes. It is inorganic(no carbon) so he puts the ox before the ane to show everybody that it is an oxygen chain with as much variety as a carbon chain has but with oxygen instead of carbon. Here is kind of my layout of chapters: Okay here is my new order of chapters:Chapter 1: The Discovery of Elements Chapter 2: The Particles of an Atom Chapter 3: Bonding “Love between atoms” Chapter 4: How Orbitals Are Chapter 5: States of Matter Chapter 6: Starting to Look at Simple Inorganic Compounds Chapter 7: Carbon Chains “The Real Deal” Chapter 8: Wondering if you could have nitranes and oxidanes Chapter 9: Looking at Oxygen Chains Chapter 10: Complex Inorganic Compounds Chapter 11: Extending the periodic table “Isotopes, Periods 8 and 9 There will be more but that is all I can think of right now. Do you think I should reorder the chapters like maybe States of Matter before The Discovery of Elements and How Orbitals are right after Bonding “Love between atoms”? I would choose a title that relates strongly to your main character. well I don’t know what to name my main character. My main character is this guy who is as small as a proton and discovers things about atoms and molecules. What should I name him? Dr. Proton maybe(since he is as small as one)? Well the person’s dream is to learn about things in chemistry and discover new things such as nitrogen chains. He will always be as small as a proton. Unlike a proton though he doesn’t have a positive charge to attract atoms so he has to get them to come in some other way. I still don’t know whether to name him Dr. Proton because of his size or whether not to because of no positive charge inside him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Function Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Not the best place to put this question, I think.. Try the lounge On-topic: try to play with the word "proton", for "proton" would be somewhat.. too obvious: Notorp, Pornto (well.. now that I write it, it's a bit less... scientifically ) Nortop, Tropon, ...

caters Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 Why shoud a quark be any smaller than a proton? because there aare 3 quarks in a proton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
