Explain how the terms atom, compounds, element, and molecules all relate to one another

For starters, atoms are the basic building blocks of matter- they make up elements, molecules and compounds. Elements most often combine with other elements as compounds. Whilst molecules are particles found in both elements and compounds. I hope that wasn't too confusing, but bottom line is that they are all linked together in this way! Helpful? :)

Answer:

When I first read this question, all I could think about was the capsized fishing charter called, “the Erik”. The inept captain and crew of this boat caused the death of four passengers while three others remain missing. This disaster occurred back in 2011. I knew two of the passengers. One was recovered in 2013. The other is still listed as missing. However, this question concerns the “best story”. So, I’ll give you the accounts of my own experience. Back in 2013, my group of long-range fishing friends had chartered our annual 8-day trip out of Point Loma, San Diego. We had always chartered the same boat; the Shogun. At our traditional dinner the night before boarding, I remember the most notable topic being discussed was the remnants of Hurricane Ingrid. Ingrid had caused high winds and seas in the area where we wanted to fish.
