Chemistry Definitions - Set 1

What is an atom?

• The basic particle from which all elements are made; the smallest particle of an element that has the properties of that element.
• The amount of space that matter occupies.
• The ratio of the mass of a substance to its volume. (Mass divided by Volume)
• Anything that has mass and takes up space.
