Matter is made of particles

Everything around us is made of tiny pieces or particles Our body is made of particles, our chair is made of particles, our tabie is made of particles and this book is also made of particles. The number of particles in everything is, however, very, very large. For example,a small rain drop (water drop) contains about 102’ particles of water in it! The particles which make up matter are so small that we cannot see them even with a high power microscope. Even without seeing them, we have certain evidence which tells us that all the things (or all the matter) is made of tiny particles. We will now give some of the evidence which dearly shows that all the matter is made up of tiny particles. This evidence also shows that the particles which make up the matter are constantly 'moving' (they are in motion). Please note that the particles which make up matter are atoms or molecules.
