By definition -- that's how you define a molecule.
Sort of like asking why are those things on my feet called socks? Because when we put cloth of our feet, we tend to call them socks. Could be a blanket, of course. Once you say "Chemically bonded" atoms, you are stuck with the name "molecule."
A group of chemically bonded atoms is termed a molecule.
Its a molecule
It is a molecule with many different atoms within
Yes, it is called a hydrogen molecule. It is a molecule because it is composed of two hydrogen atoms chemically bonded, which has the formula H2.
O is an atom, but O2 is a molecule.
That's called.. a molecule.
yes
yes
Two or more atoms chemically bonded together form a molecule. The atoms within a molecule are held together by chemical bonds, which can be covalent, ionic, or metallic depending on the type of atoms involved and their arrangement.
SrO is a compound composed of strontium (Sr) and oxygen (O) atoms. It is not a molecule because the atoms are chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio to form a distinct compound.
The definition of a molecule is two or more atoms which have chemically combined to form a single species. Therefore when the two hydrogen atoms combine with the one oxygen atom, you get a single substance.
Gold is an element made up of atoms. Each gold atom is a single, indivisible unit. It is not a molecule because it does not consist of multiple atoms chemically bonded together.
