Fox was uncharacteristically quiet as he drove, and if it werenât for his occasional turning of the steering wheel, I would have thought someone had crafted a wax-statue of him and stuck it next to me. âThanks for driving me,â I finally said, just to say something.
Everything is made of atoms. An atom is the smallest particle of an element, like oxygen or hydrogen. Atoms join together to form molecules. A water molecule has three atoms: two hydrogen (H) atoms and one oxygen (O) atom. That's why water is sometimes referred to as H2O. A single drop of water contains billions of water molecules.
A molecule of water is made of the the elements Hydrogen and Oxygen-two atoms of Hydrogen combined with one atom of oxygen. Sugar (C12H22O11) is made up of 12 carbon atoms, 22 hydrogen atoms and 11 oxygen atoms.Many elements in particular the gases occur naturally as molecules e.g.olecules may be â¦ made up of atoms of the same element such as Hydrogen gas (H2 - two atoms of Hydrogen), or atoms of different elements such as Sodium Chloride (NaCl).
