Look at this dog riding in a car with its head out the window and consider what the dog and the car are made of. Think about the air, the trees they are driving past, and the road, and the mountains. Think about the glass in the car window, too. What do all these materials have in common?

They’re all made of matter — built from atoms and molecules.
- The dog, trees and mountains are made of molecules containing carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, etc.
- The air is a mix of gas molecules (mostly N2 and O2).
- The car contains metals, plastics and rubber (all made of atoms/compounds).
- Glass is mainly silicon and oxygen atoms (silica).
All of those atoms are in turn made of the same fundamental particles (protons, neutrons and electrons), so despite their very different appearances and properties they share the same basic building blocks and follow the same physical laws.
