The Atom: basic building block of all matter (Atomic structure)
All matter is made up of atoms. Everything around you, including your own body, your hair, your organs and even the air you breathe is made up of atoms. Atomic theory is the foundation for understanding the interactions and changes in matter. The periodic table displays the elements in increasing atomic number and shows how periodicity of the physical and chemical properties of the elements relates to atomic structure. Everything in the world is made up of different combinations of atoms from the elements on the periodic table.
