Answer 1

Question:

If atoms cant touch then why can an average human experience touch

Answer:

Atoms do not touch each other because of repulsive forces of the nuclei . when humans touch each other these forces of repulsion acting upon an area exerts a pressure on the skin . This pressure is sensed by our skin which gives us the feeling of touch .

Answer 2

• When we touch some thing then
• Our neuron cells of the hand nerves get reactive.
• They suddenly send message to brain.
• The brain reads the message.
• Then we observe the feeling of touch
