This letter provides definitions for key chemistry concepts - atoms, elements, molecules, and compounds - and requests examples for each. Atoms are the basic building blocks and an example given is an oxygen atom. Molecules are made of two or more atoms bonded together, with examples of H2 and another unspecified example. Compounds are substances made of two or more different elements chemically bonded, requesting an example. Elements are pure substances made of only one type of atom, asking for an example element. The letter is signed from the confused student seeking clarification on these fundamental chemistry terms.
