• A. Atoms
• B. Molecules

Answer 1

• Everything that we see in the universe is made up of matter.
• Anything that has mass and occupies space is called matter.
• Atoms are the building blocks of matter. An atom is the smallest unit of matter that exhibits all its properties.
• Atoms are usually not able to exist independently and so combine with other atoms to form molecules.
• Molecules are stable structures and so can exist independently.
• Therefore, all matter is made up of tiny particles called atoms or molecules.
