  • What is a Molecule? Understanding Covalent Bonds & Atomic Structure
    When two or more atoms bond together and share electrons, they form a molecule.

    Here's why:

    * Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter. They consist of a nucleus (containing protons and neutrons) surrounded by electrons.

    * Chemical bonds occur when atoms interact and share or transfer electrons.

    * Covalent bonds are a type of chemical bond where atoms share electrons.

    * Molecules are formed when two or more atoms are held together by covalent bonds.

    So, the sharing of electrons between atoms leads to the formation of molecules.
