An atom is the smallest unit of matter that retains the properties of an element. Everything in the physical world is made of atoms.

Each atom consists of a nucleus made of protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons in constant motion. The arrangement of these particles determines the atom’s behavior.

Atoms combine to form molecules and materials. This makes them the foundation of chemistry, biology, and all physical structures.
