What's in a black hole?

What I THINK I know: Supermassive celestial body collapses in on itself and becomes so dense light can't escape it.

What I decidedly do NOT know: what kind of mass is in there? is there any kind of molecular structure? Atomic structure even? Do the molecules absorb the photons, or does the gravitational force just prevent their ejection? Basically, help!
