An atom is the smallest unit of ordinary matter that forms a chemical element. Every solid, liquid, gas, and plasma is composed of neutral or ionized atoms. Atoms are extremely small, typically around 100 picometers across.

Answer 2

Explanation:

We now know that atoms are made up of three particles: protons, neutrons and electrons — which are composed of even smaller particles, such as quarks. Atoms were created after the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago. ... Quarks came together to form protons and neutrons, and these particles combined into nuclei.
