The Big Bang theory is matter and energy in the universe exploded out from one point. As the explosion occurred, energy and matter spread outward and formed the universe. The matter from the Big Bang formed clouds of gas.
That's a molecule of the substance. You can break the molecule down further, into the atoms that make it up, but those don't have the properties of the original 'compound'.
Here's an example:
-- Sodium is a soft, slippery metal, that explodes when water touches it.
-- Chlorine is a poisonous green gas.
When an atom of Sodium and an atom of Chlorine combine, they make one molecule of a substance called "Sodium Chloride". That's SALT ! It isn't green, it isn't a gas, it isn't poisonous, it isn't soft and slippery, and it doesn't explode when water touches it.
A) Up is the direction of the magnetic field at point Z.
Gravity? Im almost sure thats it
