Yes. Viruses are not alive and either are atoms. Sorry if I'm wrong.

No, a virus is not an atom. A virus is a complex biological entity that contains genetic material (either DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein coat, while an atom is the basic unit of matter that cannot replicate on its own.
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom distinguishes it from another atom. This number is known as the atomic number and determines the element to which the atom belongs.
When an electron collides with an atom, it can transfer energy to the atom, causing the atom to become excited or ionized. This can lead to the atom emitting light or undergoing chemical reactions.
A typical virus can weigh anywhere from a few femtograms to a few nanograms, depending on the type and size of the virus. On average, a typical virus weighs around 10-1,000 femtograms.
Forcing electrons to flow from atom to atom creates an electrical current. This flow of electrons can be harnessed to generate electricity in circuits and power devices.
An argon atom has 18 protons.
