What are the characteristics that differentiate atoms, elements, molecules, or substances?

• Atoms are the smallest unit of matter, elements are pure substances consisting of one type of atom, molecules are two or more atoms bonded together, and substances are forms of matter with distinct properties.

• Atoms are the largest unit of matter, elements are mixtures of different atoms, molecules are single atoms, and substances are forms of energy.

• Atoms are the smallest unit of energy, elements are pure substances consisting of different types of molecules, molecules are single atoms, and substances are forms of matter with no distinct properties.

• Atoms are the largest unit of energy, elements are mixtures of different molecules, molecules are two or more elements bonded together, and substances are forms of energy with distinct properties.
