Forever Alone: Atomic Edition

Poor electron! Third-wheeling since the dawn of atomic structure! 💔

While protons and neutrons are getting cozy in the nucleus, our electron friend is stuck orbiting alone on the outside. Talk about atomic rejection! The strong nuclear force keeps those nucleus particles together like superglue, but electrons? They're just circling around like the awkward friend nobody invited to the atomic party.

Next time you feel left out, remember: even fundamental particles know the pain of watching others pair-bond while holding your balloon in the corner. At least electrons have quantum tunneling to escape awkward situations!
