Composition of Composition of MatterMatter

• All matter is made up of atoms.

• Elements- when all the atoms in the matter are the same.

• There are 118 elements.

• Ex: Carbon and Oxygen

CompoundsCompounds

• Compounds- matter that is made up of 2 or more combined elements.

• Compounds look different than the elements that make them up.
