This illustrated introduction to atoms makes the invisible structure of matter approachable for young science readers. Part of the Basic Science Series, it explains the particles within an atom and the relationships between protons, neutrons and electrons, using diagrams and straightforward text to support understanding. Tables of common atoms help readers connect element names and symbols with atomic numbers and mass numbers, while explanations show how these quantities relate to the nucleus. The emphasis is on building basic concepts in a clear sequence rather than assuming advanced scientific knowledge. Published in 1971, the book reflects the educational style of its period and offers a compact foundation for exploring the small structures that underlie the familiar materials of everyday life.
