Molecules adopt arrangements that minimize potential energy, and this typically involves maximizing the distance between their constituent atoms. When atoms are further apart, the electrostatic repulsion between their negatively charged electron clouds is reduced, resulting in a lower potential energy state. This stability leads to molecules adopting a configuration where atoms are as far away from each other as possible.
Diatomic molecules have 2 atoms combined. The way they line up is determined by the desire to keep each atom as far away as possible from all the other electrons in the molecule apart from those being shared. The only way to do this is to be a linear molecule, so the atoms are side by side.
True!
No. Molecules are made of atoms.
A molecule is consisted of two or more atoms bonded together.
Forces between electron pairs push the atoms apart.
Forces between electron pairs push the atoms apart.
APEX!!!Forces between electron pairs push the atoms apart.
The atoms speed up building up kenetic energy which forces them apart and that is what turns the liquid into a gas

Atoms, or molecules, depending on how "far in" you go.
No. Atoms and molecules are far smaller than the wavelengths of visible light, so light cannot be used to image them.

Atoms existed before molecules do. Without atoms, molecules could not happen.
True!
ions
Gases are the only ones that are compressible in fact. They are compressible because the atoms in gases are very far apart, and when you compress them, their atoms can fill up these spaces.
