Everything around us is made of molecules, bits of matter so small that you can’t see them. This highly magnified photo shows individual sugar crystals, which are made of even smaller sugar molecules.

Water droplets are made of water molecules that bond together.

Matter is Made up of Atoms

An element is made up of small particles called atoms.

Page 5: Simple concept of Atoms and Molecules

Atoms are so tiny that they can’t be seen with the naked eye. However, they can be viewed and photographed with a special microscope. This picture shows atoms of the element silicon.

What Makes up an Atom?

An atom comprises three types of fundamental sub-atomic articles: electron, proton and neutron.

An atom is mostly empty space. It has a nucleus in the centre which

contains protons and neutrons. Electrons move around the nucleus in

fixed paths or orbits.
