Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass. It is made up of elements. All of the 92 elements that made naturally have unique qualities that allow them to combine in various ways to create molecules, which then combine to form cells, tissues, organ systems, and organisms. Atoms consist of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Atoms are the smallest units of an element that have all of the properties of that element. Electrons can be transferred, shared, or cause charge differences between atoms to create bonds, including ionic, covalent, and hydrogen bonds, as well as van der Waals interactions.
