Yes, lighting is atomic, when friction in the thunder clouds build up, the electrons in the ATOMS are thrown around and that particular part of the cloud because stricly negatively charged. If that part of the cloud is negative, then that means that another part of the same cloud is positve, when the pull becomes too great, the air loses its natural insulation, and lightning is created to restablize it. However sometimes when the cloud becomes negatively charged, the ground becomes positively charged, when the pull becomes too great, lighting forks from the sky to the ground. Around 10,000 volts are present before lightning even occurs. I'm 13 and hope this helped.
