"If you've ever played with building blocks, you know a bit about how atoms work already. They're the building blocks of nature. In fact, everything in nature is made up of the super-small particles called atoms. This accessible book is an inviting look at the basic units of all matter. Young scientists will discover how atoms combine to form elements and how they're used to produce energy. Fascinating fact boxes and helpful diagrams take the mystery out of essential chemistry concepts"--Provided by the publisher.
