A molecule results from the coupling of two or more atoms who share a valence electrons, this is called a covalent bond. Electrons circle around the nucleus of an atom in concentric orbits that allow only so many electrons per orbit. The outermost orbit sometimes is incomplete as it has too few electrons. This would cause the atom to have a charge and then become attracted to another atom of opposite charge that would allow the atom the share an electron and allow both atoms to have a neutral net charge. This is what occurs in the bond of hydrogen and oxygen in water.

What is a flat molecule?

A flat molecule is a molecule that lies in a plane, with its atoms arranged in a two-dimensional structure. This results in the molecule having no out-of-plane distortion or bending. Flat molecules are often found in aromatic compounds like benzene.
