      Hi!
      Everything you see around us is made of tiny particles called atoms. These are soooo small we can never be able to see one atom with just our eyes. But the many atoms that make up your table for example, are so closely packed together that we can see what they make.

      In water, the atoms are slightly less close together, this is why water can flow and move about whereas your table can’t.

      But in air, the atoms are really far apart from each other. So far apart that it is like having lots of separate atoms and so our eyes can’t them.
