Atomic Quizzes & Trivia

At the smallest level of everything is an atom. This atomic particle of matter is the smallest unit of a chemical element. So if atoms are so small, how are they measured? The standard atomic measurement is in picometers (trillionths of a meter). That’s really small!

Do you know what atoms are made of? Getting down to basics, atoms are mainly composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. However, did you know that protons are the real star of an atom? The number of protons determines whether the atom is carbon, copper, or any number of elements. The world of atoms, elements, and chemistry come together in amazingly complex way to create life as we know it. Test your chemistry knowledge by taking one of our online quizzes!
