Everything in the world is made up of atoms. These tiny particles join together to form molecules. Some molecules are tiny. For example, one molecule of water has only two hydrogen atoms joined to one oxygen atom. However, other molecules grow into giant structures built from billions of atoms. Living things, such as the human body, are made from networks of molecules. Understanding the seemingly invisible world of atoms is very important.
