Like cells, they are the building blocks but not of life... They're the building blocks of ALL physical matter. They are much much much smaller than cells and yes they are real and visible with high-tech microscopes. They are composed of electrons, which orbit the core of protons and neutrons.

An atom is an indivisible particle of an element that displays the properties of that element. Yes, they are real. They can be seen by high tech microscopes. They are also called building blocks of matter.

an atom is the smallest possible discrete partical of any element.
They are real.
The traditional nucleus with orbiting electrons representation has come into question as to how accurately it represents what one would look like if adequately magnified, but it does represent the "pieces" into which an atom can be broken down fairly well.

Yes, they'e real. Atoms are the single smallest unit of an individual element. For example, if you split an oxygen atom it is no longer oxygen

See an atom is the smallest particle of an element.It contains the same prperties of the element.an atom is made of protons(postive in nature),Neutrons and electrons (which are shared or given or recieved)

yes they are!! they are the smallest unit of our life!! it takes a lot of power to seperate these atoms which equals to weapons of mass destruction but that is something else, lol
