What is atomic theory
Matter is anything that occupies space, as weight (mass), or requires energy to move. Matter consists of various sized particles, known as molecules.
What is a molecule
A molecule is the smallest particle that a compound to be broken down into and still retain the properties of that compound
What is a compound
A compound results from the combination of two or more different elements
What are molecules made up of
Elements
What are elements made up of
Atoms
What is an atom
The smallest particle of an element that retains the characteristics of that element
What does an atom consist of
Electrons, protons, neutrons.
What are electrons
They are negatively charged particles.
