This document provides an overview of atoms and elements. It defines atoms as the building blocks of matter and notes they consist of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Elements are the basic substances that cannot be broken down further by chemical means. The document explains atomic structure using two models: the Bohr model which depicts the atom's particles, and Lewis dot structures which represent the outer shell electrons. Examples of drawing lithium in each model are provided. Readers are then instructed to create Bohr and Lewis dot structure models of the first 20 elements using physical representations.
