Answer 1

There is no questions so I’m just going to tell you what all these are.
1. Atoms are the smallest particle of a chemical element that can exist.
2. Elements are pure substances and they are only made of one type of atom. Elements are found in the periodic table (can be metals, non metals, gases, liquids).
3. Compounds are made up of two or more types of atoms chemically bonded together.
4. Molecules are made up of two or more types of atoms not chemically bonded together.
5. Matter is really any substance that has mass and takes up volume.
