What is an atom?Atoms are the basic building blocks of ordinary

matter. Atoms can join together to form molecules, which in turn form most of the objects around you.

Atoms are composed of particles called protons, electrons and neutrons.

What is an element?An element is a substance that is

made entirely from one type of atom. If you change the number of protons an atom has, you change the

type of element it is.
