Introduction

What is matter? What is it made of?

Is matter continuous or discrete? Where do you base your claim?

Do you know what the smallest particle of matter is? Can we divide this particle further? How?

In this article, we will explain some structural properties of atomic nucleus - the hardest and most massive part of atom. In addition, some historical events that brought the important discoveries regarding the atomic structure (albeit not always correct), are briefly discussed, in order to highlight the difficulties that arise from the study of such invisible worlds.
