Today for science, I built some elements. Elements are basic materials that can't be broken down any further. All other materials are comprised of elements, just like all elements are comprised of atoms. I have made models of what the atoms of the elements would look like. John Dlaton was a very important person in this discover, and he rightly claimed that all materials consist of atoms and that, in most materials, different types of atoms are bonded together. Each element's combination of molecules is different, and has a distinct shape. Below, I have built a model of some element's molecules.
