Atoms. An atom is the smallest particle of an element, like oxygen or hydrogen. Atoms join together to form molecules. A water molecule has three atoms: two hydrogen (H) atoms and one oxygen (o) atom. That is why water is sometimes referred to as H2O. One single drop of water contains billions of water molecules.
