We have explored what a molecule is. This is a video that explains it really well.
A molecule is two (or more) atoms that join and form a bond. This bond is formed by the atoms sharing their electrons.
Some molecules are quite simple like water which is H20 (2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom)
Some are more complex like table sugar which is C12H22O11.
We had a great question from Antony about how they find out how many of each atom are in the different molecules. This will be a great question for us to explore.
We also briefly talked about how they make molecules - another great question to explore.
I think in this lesson helped me completely understand molecules.
