Atoms: The smallest unit of an element that retains the properties of that element. Like each individual LEGO block is still identifiable as a LEGO piece.
Periodic Table: A chart where all known elements are arranged based on their atomic number, electron configuration, and recurring chemical properties. It's like a guidebook showing all available types of LEGO blocks and how they relate to each other.
Chemical Bonds: These are forces holding atoms together to form compounds or molecules. Just like how different LEGO blocks can be snapped together to create new structures.
