Atoms in molecules

ID: atoms-in-molecules

Atoms in molecules refer to the individual atoms that come together to form molecules, which are the smallest units of a chemical compound that still maintain the properties of that compound. A molecule consists of two or more atoms bonded together by chemical bonds, which can include covalent bonds (where atoms share electrons) or ionic bonds (where atoms transfer electrons). For example, a water molecule (H₂O) consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
