There are almost no free-floating single atoms in milk; instead of being made of distinct elements, milk is mostly made up of chemical compounds like water (H2O) and lactose (C12H22O11), among many others. In fact, the only single atoms you might find in a jug of milk are pollutants like lead, cadmium, or Mercury, which are not part of the milk and should really not be in your food at all. But in any event, a mixture of elements rather than compounds is a rather rare thing since elements tend to react and bond with other elements, and by definition, the parts of a mixture are not chemically bonded together.
