No thanks. I understand what you are saying, but I still disagree. I'm pretty sure I'm happy with the A I have in Microbiology and not going to let your opinion change that. Thanks for your opinion though.

Does it then convert into negative energy or stay neutral? Does it depend on the atom itself? or the forces around it? I think both.

Sorry, I'm still improving on my writing skills but I was referring to both.
Just know that atoms are required to make up cells is the only reason I was referring to them.
Is finding new chemical compounds within an atom still extremely difficult or has the technology advanced beyond some of the standard knowledge to an average person?

you mean a chemical point particle. I don't care what you say, it is a chemical. It has the ability to change it's surroundings, therefore it is a chemical.
Ok you need to sit down with your professor your heading down the wrong path. Tell him to show you Compendium of Chemical Terminology also called the Gold Book. As a technical term, chemical substance refers to any form of matter—solid, liquid, or gas—that has constant chemical composition of its component atoms. Notice the last line chemicals are composed of atoms the two are not the same. You are composed of atoms everything around you is composed of atoms. Now we can break down matter into its chemical parts and then we can break that down to its atomic parys parts.
You can use the same techniques for a chemical on an atom there just to small.

This is a great post..
It brings me back to 8th grade science class. We made a model of an atom using students (as protons and neutrons and electrons) and rope (as the levels).
What stood out to me... was that the majority of the atom was empty space. There's space between the nucleus and the electrons..
I then asked my teacher...
If everything is made of atoms... then what is in the space between?
What is nothing? Because everything is something. . Including that nothing.. it can't be air.. or anything comprised of atoms.. what is it?
What is nothing?
The teachers were stumped and thought it was a great question.
Maybe one day we can see small enough, to find out what nothing is.

There's no metaphoric interpretation at all. Chemistry is the science of interaction at the electron shell level. Period.
Neutrons cannot have chemical properties because they have no charge. Frequencies aren't tangibles, they're an attribute of something else, so unless you can say "frequency of what". the term is meaningless. And at any rate, the attribute of how often something occurs per unit of time also cannot interact with a charge. Nor can gravity. None of these things is a chemical.
The only thing on the list that is close is a proton, because it's technically a hydrogen ion.
loosely: chemistry is the art and science of combining whole atoms into chains of atoms and other structures via valence shell electrons exchange or electrical attraction. Chemistry does not take place in the nucleus. that would be nuclear activity. the only part protons and neutrons have in chemistry is in determining what element the atom is.

How are there no chemical compounds in an atom? You don't consider protons, neutrons, and electrons chemical compounds of life? Need I forget to mention, Ions.

Actually, no.
Frequency isn't a thing by itself. I can't toss a handful of it in your eye.
