    Atoms are the smallest particles that make up all matter. They are too small to see even with an optical microscope, but over a trillion atoms could fit on the period at the end of a sentence. All matter can be explained at the submicroscopic, or atomic, level in terms of structure, composition, and behavior. Chemists study changes in the world at this atomic scale to understand natural phenomena.

    You will learn in Module 2 that the tremendous variety of stuff around you can be broken down into

    more than a hundred types of matter called elements, and that elements are made up of particles
    called atoms. Atoms are so tiny that they cannot be seen even with optical microscopes. Thus, atoms
    are submicroscopic. They are so small that over a trillion atoms could fit onto the period at the end
    of this sentence. The structure, composition, and behavior of all matter can be explained on a submi-
    croscopic level—or the atomic level. All that we observe about matter depends on atoms and the
    changes they undergo.
