Study Notes
Molecules and Chemical Bonds
- A molecule is a group of two or more atoms held together by attractive forces known as chemical bonds.
- The term molecule is often used when referring to a group of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds.
Composition of Molecules
- A molecule may be homogeneous, consisting of atoms of one chemical element.
- A molecule may be heterogeneous, a chemical compound composed of more than one element.
Definition in Different Fields
- In the kinetic theory of gases, the term molecule is often used for any gaseous particle, regardless of its composition.
- In quantum physics, organic chemistry, and biochemistry, the distinction from ions is dropped and molecule is often used when referring to polyatomic ions.
Exceptions
- Atoms and complexes connected by non-covalent interactions, such as hydrogen bonds or ionic bonds, are typically not considered single molecules.
- The noble gases are individual atoms, not molecules.
