the elements
elements are the basic chemical building blocks of matter and atoms are the basic units of an element.snap together atoms of a few chemical elements.you can make everything on earth from the smallest beetle to the tallest skyscraper.
you could build living things from a handful of elements based on carbon and you could make the water that covers most of our planets from just two elements hydrogen and oxygen.but to make everything on earth you would need about 100 elements in total.most elements occur naturally they are locked in rocks or drifting around in the atmoshphere.but since elements are made from protons,neutrons and electrons glued together by strong forces its also possible to build brand new ones.scientists have done just this in laboratories pushing the total number of known elements to 118.
