Her Vast Collection of Encyclopedias

Particles

All matter is made of incredibly tiny particles called atoms. Atoms are far too small to see with our eyes, but scientists have figured out how small they are. There are many kinds of atoms. Sand grains are made of two kinds of atoms: oxygen and silicon. People are made of about 28 different kinds of atoms. Material properties depend on the kinds of atoms the material is made from.
