Indistinguishability of atoms
Each atom of oxygen is exactly identical to every other atom of oxygen.
Thus one water molecule is exactly the same as any other water molecule.

Structure of atoms
Nucleus
“Orbiting electrons”
Atoms are mostly empty. If a nucleus were as big as a person, then closest electron is roughly 100 kms away.

Need for 'high' energy
A nucleus is very small.
To be able to 'look' inside it, we need a small object of high energy.
Let me explain with an example.
