like manner, rough touch would have infinite divisions, one degree, two degrees, three degrees, infinite degrees rough.
Some atoms would be one degree sticky, some others fifty degrees sticky, some atoms would be five degrees rough, some others would be infinite degrees rough. Thus we would have two kinds of atoms, sticky and rough.
It is a rule that two atoms of the same group can combine only if there is a difference between the touch of these two atoms of at least two degrees. Thus an atom one degree sticky can combine with another atom, three or four or more degrees sticky. In like manner, one atom one degree rough would unite with another. three, four or more degrees rough.
In the combination of atoms of two opposite qualities, the rule is that these atoms combine even if the qualities of both are of the same degrees or different degrees. Thus one atom six degrees sticky can combine with an atom six or eight degrees rough. The above rule is subject to one exception that an atom one degree sticky cannot combine with another one degree rough
It would thus be understood that every atom has not the fitness to be united with another.
There are infinite single atoms in the world which have not been conjoined with another. Such single atoms form formidable separate units. Let us call this group, Unit No. 1.
There are such units of two atoms infinite in number.
There are also such units of three atoms, four, five, six even of incalculable and even infinite atoms. Each group is infinite in number.
Beginning with the unit of one atom, we have reached the group of infinite shatial units, each of which has atoms infinite in number. All such units, groups, conglomerations and their molecules are never of use in the world to any being. No material thing is formed of them. Because the grossness of these conglomerations is greater than that of those which are
