Atoms are building materials of all matter, because by putting together atoms in different ways, all elements and compounds can be formed．
An element is a substance or a kind of thing that has only one type of atom． Pure oxygen has only oxygen atoms． Elements are substances which cannot be broken down chemically into any simpler substances．
All the atoms of an element have the same atomic number． You will remember that the atomic number is the number of protons (= very very small pieces of matter that carry positive or Å electricity) in the nucleus or centre of an atom, and this number determines or decides the nature of the element． Each oxygen atom has eight protons in its nucleus, while each aluminum has thirteen． We call these substances elements because all their atoms are of the same type;they all have the same number of protons in the nucleus．
The element is made up of chemical units which have two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds or connections． A chemical unit is the smallest unit of a substance which shows all the chemical nature of the substance． Chemical units of elements are called molecules． The number of atoms in a molecule depends on the element．
At room temperature, some elements are gases (in a gas, there are larger spaces between the (molecules )． In the Noble Gases, each molecule has only one atom, because the atoms of these elements do not form chemical bonds with each other． In other gases, however, the molecules each have two atoms held together by chemical bonds． For example, nitrogen, chlorine, fluorine, oxygen, and hydrogen are all gases whose molecules have two atoms each．
The chemical symbol or sign of an element stands for one atom of the element． The formula of the element, however, stands for one molecule of the element．
Most elements are solid at room temperature． Some of these elements are made up of single atoms placed closely together within the solid, e．g． copper, iron, and nickel．
Other solid elements are made up of molecules with two or more atoms each． Iodine is a solid whose molecules have two atoms each(I2 ), but phosphorus has molecules made up of four atoms (P4 ), while the molecules of sulphur may have up to eight atoms each ( S8 )． In each of these elements, the molecules are put so closely together that the result is a solid substance．
Bromine and mercury are two elements which are liquids at room temperature． Bromine, like its neighbours chlorine and iodine in the periodic ( = of period ) table, has molecules made up of two atoms each． In these liquid elements, the molecules are close together, but not so crowded;they can pass lightly by one another．
