Questions: Atoms/Compounds/Elements What are Atoms? Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space (volume). All matter is made up of atoms. Atoms make up elements, which make up molecules and compounds. Atoms are the smallest, most basic unit of matter and atoms join together to make elements. Atoms are composed of three major particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge (are neutral), and electrons have a negative charge. In the image, protons are blue, neutrons are red, and electrons are silver. What are the three major parts of an atom? - protons, neutrons, electrons

All matter is made up of atoms. Atoms make $p$ elements, which make up molecules and ompounds. toms are the smallest, most basic unit of matter and toms join together to make elements. Atoms are omposed of three major particles: protons, neutrons nd electrons. (There are other subatomic particles vithin atoms but we won't discuss them here.) rotons have a positive charge, neutrons have no harge (are neutral), and electrons have a negative harge.
