Yes; a molecule is the bonding of at least two atoms of either the same or distinct elements.

it can also contain many more than 2 atoms.

water, H2O for example, is a molecule that contains 3 atoms (2x H, 1x O)

a molecule of Sulphuric acid (H2SO4) contains 7 atoms (2x H, 4x O, 1x S)

i could go on, but you get the picture

2 is the minumum

Do atoms of a molecule come from two or more compounds?

This question is rather confused. A molecule is the smallest particle of a covalently bound substance (or a noble gas) which can exist. That substance can be an element or a compound, which means its constituent atoms can be the same or different. Where the atoms come from can vary enormously.


Contains two or more atoms bonded together?

A molecule contains two or more atoms that are chemically bonded together. These atoms can be identical or different elements that come together to form a distinct structure with its own unique properties.


What is a molecule and how is it formed?

1. A molecule is a group of at least two atoms chemically combined in definiteproportions.For example, a water molecule (H2O) is always composed of two atoms of hydrogen chemically combined with one of oxygen. (a 2 hydrogen :1 oxygen proportion)If you have a combination of three hydrogen atoms with one oxygen atom(3 hydrogen:1 oxygen ) , the combination is notwater;this is what is meant by defininte proportions.2. Molecules are held together by covalent bonds;i.e., the sharing of pairs of electrons holds the atoms together. Also, molecules are held together by columbic forces or forces of electrostatic attraction in case of ionic compounds.Additional Note : * If different kinds of atoms combine to form a molecule, thesubstance formed is called a compound.An example of a compound is water.* If atoms of the same kind combine to form a molecule, the substance iscalled an element.Example , oxygen (O2)

What two atoms of the same element come together what do they form?

When two atoms of the same element come together, they form a molecule of that element. For example, when two oxygen atoms come together, they form a molecule of oxygen (O2).

What three atoms of oxygen come together?

Three atoms of oxygen come together to form an ozone molecule (O3). This molecule is responsible for protecting Earth by absorbing and blocking harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun in the stratosphere.
