  • Molecules: Understanding Particles with Multiple Atoms
    Particles that are always made up of more than one atom are called molecules.

    Here are some examples:

    * Water (H₂O): Two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom

    * Carbon dioxide (CO₂): One carbon atom and two oxygen atoms

    * Sugar (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁): Many carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms

    * DNA : A very large molecule made up of many atoms of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus

    Let me know if you'd like to explore other examples or have more questions!
