How are atoms like the alphabet?

Atoms are like the alphabet because they are the building blocks of matter, just as letters are the building blocks of words.

Atoms often are referred to as the building blocks of matter why do you think atoms were given this title?

Atoms were given the title of "building blocks of matter" because they are the smallest units of matter that maintain the chemical properties of elements. They combine to form molecules, which in turn make up all substances in the universe. Additionally, atoms are fundamental to understanding the structure and behavior of all materials.
