Building Blocks of Matter

Everything is made up of atoms, even your body

Your body is built up in a similar way, as every living thing. There are a lot of other stuff inside you like iron---if you don’t have enough, you might have anaemia. However you need only a small amount of them.

   Oxygen, hydrogen, iron and their mates are all chemical elements and all have one type of atoms.

The chemical elements are a great bunch of atoms. In a gold ring there are about 30 billion gold atoms.
