Basic unit of all matter - living and non-living
Made up of protons, neutrons and electrons
MOLECULES

Composed of two or more atoms held together by a chemical bond
Water is made up of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom
Smallest unit of a substance that has all the properties of that substance
Molecules made up of 2 or more elements are called compunds. E.G. Water
Molecules may be simple or complex
