Atoms and Elements

Page 2: Atoms and Elements. Atoms Atoms are the “building blocks” of all matter and are the simplest form of molecule. They are all made up of protons, neutrons

AtomsAtoms are the “building blocks” of all matter and are the simplest form of molecule. They are all made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. They look something like this:

The Nucleus – this contains neutrons and protons

Electrons – these orbit around the nucleus

ElementsIf a solid, liquid or gas is made up of only one type of atom we say it is an element. For example, consider a tripod made up of iron:

These atoms are ALL iron – there’s nothing else in
