Hello.

Currently, I'm a Sophomore in High School, and I'm about to finish Chemistry 1 Honors Research, and I'm going to start Biology 2 AP in the fall.

In Chemistry, there were a few introductions to physics, mainly thermodynamics, nuclear physics, and quantum physics, with their ties to chemistry.

I was a bit interested in these areas, and physics looks very appealing to me.

I'm planning to take Physics next year, so if anyone has any introduction to physics articles for me to read, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
