Atoms within molecules are bound by bonds of different types, but nothing physically attaches them, technically. Forces, almost all magnetic, help pull atoms together, though the strength of this force has to be stronger than the heat movement in order to actually hold these atoms together.

Are atoms made of molecules?
No. It's the other way around: molecules are made of atoms.
What atoms form when they combine together?
They create molecules. If the atoms joined together are from different elements they create polar molecules.
Do atoms change during a physical change?
Nope. All that happens in chemical reactions is that atoms are rearranged into new molecules or compounds. You can't destroy atoms in a chemical reaction so whatever you begin with is what you end up with.
Why is water considered cohesive?
Cohesion is the force of attraction between adjacent particles within the same body, the intermolecular forces holding particles of a substance together. Cohesion in water is illustrated by the surface tension caused by the inward pull on the surface molecules, and also in the transformation of a liquid into a solid state when the molecules are brought close together as happens during freezing. The hydrogen and oxygen atoms of water are bound strongly into molecules bound weakly to each other by cohesion.
Do atoms and molecules mean the same thing?
Molecules are made out of atoms, without atoms there are no molecules. Charged molecules (ions) will form compounds as elements do, by combining in whole-number ratios with the ions of other elements and compounds.
A group of atoms within a molecule that interacts in predictable ways with other molecules is called a?
A functional group is a group of atoms within a molecule that interacts with other molecules
When atoms combine with other atoms?
They make molecules. Molecules are a bunch of Atoms together.
Is a molecule equivalent to a molecule?
Molecules are not always equivalent to molecules, as some molecules have more atoms than other molecules, and other molecules have different kinds of atoms than other molecules.
Are atoms made of molecules?
No. It's the other way around: molecules are made of atoms.
Can molecules combine to form atoms?
No. Atoms bond to each other to form molecules, not the other way round
Can atoms in a molecule share or lose electrons?
Yes. Just as atoms can form molecular bonds with other atoms (especially in molecules), some molecules can form bonds with other molecules, as with (OH) radicals and hydrated molecules.
A group of atoms bound to each other?
Molcule

Changes of state are considered physical changes because?
Physical changes are changes that don't change the structure of the individual molecules. Though heating a liquid to a gas will change how the molecules are bound to each other, the individual molecules will not change. This is contrasted from a chemical change, where the atoms of the molecules are rearranged.
Why is water considered cohesive?
Cohesion is the force of attraction between adjacent particles within the same body, the intermolecular forces holding particles of a substance together. Cohesion in water is illustrated by the surface tension caused by the inward pull on the surface molecules, and also in the transformation of a liquid into a solid state when the molecules are brought close together as happens during freezing. The hydrogen and oxygen atoms of water are bound strongly into molecules bound weakly to each other by cohesion.
Do combined atoms form a molecule?
Yes, in two forms. Two identical Atoms bonded together [N2, H2, O2] are called Di-Atomic Molecules. OTHER THAN THIS, a Molecular Compound is ANY chemically bound collection of Different types of Atoms.
