Hi Phoebe, I'm Sasha and I'm also 12 years old and here's the answer your looking for

Answer:

Particles are, by their very nature, attracted to particles with an opposite charge, and they repel other similarly charged particles. This prevents electrons from ever coming in direct contact (in an atomic sense and literal sense). Their wave packets, on the other hand, can overlap, but never touch.

  • 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
