The composition of atoms in a substance affects its physical and chemical properties from "summary" of Atoms Under the Floorboards by Chris Woodford
Every substance around us, whether it's a solid, liquid, or gas, is made up of tiny building blocks called atoms. These atoms come in different shapes and sizes, depending on the element they belong to. The way these atoms are arranged in a substance can have a big impact on its physical and chemical properties. For example, the atoms in a solid are packed tightly together in an orderly arrangement, which gives solids their fixed shape and volume. This is why a piece of wood will always be a solid, no matter how you try to change its shape. On the other hand, the atoms in a liquid are more loosely packed, allowing them to flow and take the shape of their container. This is why water can be poured from one glass to another.
Chemical properties, on the other hand, are all ...
