Is it true that dark matter is composed of ordinary atoms?
No. Multiple sources indicate dark matter is not composed of ordinary atoms: Wikipedia states most dark matter is not baryonic, and NASA notes ordinary matter is only about 5% of the universe while dark matter is 27%. Other papers propose exotic constituents such as mirror electrons or magnetic monopole neutrinos rather than ordinary atoms.
