My question or should I say my 7th graders wanted to know if all the
elements of the periodical table are simply multiples of Hydrogen atom.
Anotherwards you mash 2 H's together to get Helium?   Or when all elements
break down in the end do they go to hydrogen?   Silly I know. How would you
answer them?
