Question

though they are too small to see without a special microscope, atoms make up all of the substances around you. like all matter, atoms have mass and volume. but atoms are extremely small. a water droplet, like the one hanging from the tip of the leaf in this picture, contains more than a billion trillion atoms! which of the following statements are true? select all that apply. atoms are too small to see with the naked eye. atoms make up every substance around you. atoms do not have mass and do not take up space.

Explanation:

1. For the statement "Atoms are too small to see with the naked eye": The text says "they are too small to see without a special microscope", so this is true.
2. For the statement "Atoms make up every substance around you": The text states "atoms make up all of the substances around you", so this is true.
3. For the statement "Atoms do not have mass and do not take up space": The text says "Like all matter, atoms have mass and volume" (volume means they take up space), so this is false. So the incorrect check here should be removed, and the correct true statements are the first two.

Answer:

A. Atoms are too small to see with the naked eye
B. Atoms make up every substance around you
