Solution

  • The fundamental building block of chemistry is the atom.
  • It's the smallest unit of matter that can be divided without releasing electrically charged particles.
  • It is also the smallest unit of matter with the properties of a chemical element.
  • Molecules are made up of one or more atoms.
  • If they have more than one atom, they can be the same (for example, an oxygen molecule has two oxygen atoms) or distinct (a water molecule has two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom)

A molecule contains two or more atoms combined chemically.
