The atom is the smallest unit of an element that still can be identified as that element
The atom is made up of the same number of all three subatomic particles- the proton, electron, and neutron
The nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons
Electrons orbit the nucleus at very fast speeds
Every element has an atomic number. That number represents the number of protons in an atom

Our air is made up of several gasses. Nitrogen makes up about 78% of our air
The four states of matter are solid, liquid, gas, and Plasma
All elements can exist in the solid, liquid, or gaseous form. It all depends on temperature
