Molecules: The Elements and the Architecture of Everything
What are molecules?
Molecules are the basic building blocks of matter. They are made up of atoms, which are the smallest units of matter that can exist independently. Molecules can be simple or complex, and they can be found in all forms of matter, from solids to liquids to gases.

The simplest molecules are made up of just two atoms. For example, the molecule of water (H2O) is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. More complex molecules can be made up of hundreds or even thousands of atoms. For example, the molecule of DNA is made up of four different types of nucleotides, each of which is made up of several atoms.
How are molecules formed?
Molecules are formed when atoms bond together. There are two main types of chemical bonds: covalent bonds and ionic bonds.
Covalent bonds are formed when two atoms share electrons. For example, the molecule of water is formed when two hydrogen atoms share their electrons with an oxygen atom. Covalent bonds are the strongest type of chemical bond.
Ionic bonds are formed when one atom gives up electrons to another atom. For example, the molecule of sodium chloride (NaCl) is formed when a sodium atom gives up an electron to a chlorine atom. Ionic bonds are weaker than covalent bonds.
What are the properties of molecules?
The properties of molecules depend on the types of atoms that make them up and the way those atoms are bonded together. For example, the molecule of water is a polar molecule, which means that it has a positive end and a negative end. This polarity is due to the fact that the oxygen atom has a higher electronegativity than the hydrogen atoms. Electronegativity is a measure of how strongly an atom attracts electrons.
The properties of molecules also affect the way they interact with each other. For example, polar molecules are attracted to each other, while nonpolar molecules are not. This attraction between molecules is called intermolecular attraction.
What are the applications of molecules?
Molecules are used in a wide variety of applications. For example, molecules are used to make drugs, plastics, and fuels. Molecules are also used in agriculture to improve crop yields and in medicine to diagnose and treat diseases.
