Atoms are the smallest unit of a single element. Molecules are clusters of atoms bound together, like O2 (oxygen) or NO2 (Nitrous Oxide). Particles are still small, but large enough to reflect light, and usually made of lots of molecules.

What are liquids and gases made up of?
They are made up of tint atoms and molecules. The atoms are so small that this period (.)is made up of about 2 billion atoms. Yes that's a lot. Thanks, Greg.S
Which particles in an atom are involved in a covalent bond?
Particles formed from the covalent bonding of atoms are called molecules.
The rapid movement of gases molecules can be explained because gases have size particles and exert attraction for other gas particles.?
The kinetic theory of gases doesn't involve the exercise of forces between particles.
What characteristics would make a gas non-ideal?
The gas molecules interact with one another
What properties do all gases share?
they are all in the state of a gas
What are the particles atoms and molecules of gases solids and liquids?
All materials are formed from atoms.
How do particles make up liquids solids and gases?
All materials contains atoms or molecules.
Does atoms and molecules of gases and liquids are heated they sink?
after atoms and molecules of gases and liquids are heated, they sink?
Particles and gases in the air are called?
as far as I am aware all particles are made of molecules which in turn are made of atoms which again in turn are made of protons, electrons and neutrons, going further the protons and neutrons are made of quarks, electrons are a fundamental particle and therefore not made of anything. However, there are some gases, the noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, radon) that are found naturally as single atoms. Therefore, particles of a gases might be "molecules" or "atoms," depending on the gas.
What is kinetic theory?
The theory that states that all atoms are constantly moving

What is true of the particles of gas?
Well, as far as I know, all particles are made of molecules which in turn are made of atoms which again in turn are made of protons, electrons and neutrons. Going further, the protons and neutrons are made of quarks, electrons are a fundamental particle and therefore not made of anything. However, there are some gases, the noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, radon) that are found naturally as single atoms. Therefore, particles of a gases might be "molecules" or "atoms," depending on the gas.

Particles formed from the covalent bonding of atoms are called molecules.
Can gases be atoms or molecules?
molecules are made from multiple different or same atoms so really yes they can
After atoms and molecules of gases and liquids are heated they?
rise
