Today we are going to learn five marvelous facts about molecules. To number one a molecule is the smallest possible unit of any substance that can exist. The molecule would split into smaller pieces. It would be made up of atoms atoms on the own don’t have the properties of a full substance. It is only when they are joined up with other atoms that are full substance called a molecule can be formed. fact number two you are actually made up of trillions and trillions of different types of molecule.
DNA is a long molecule that has information uniquely describing every human being DNA is a genetic information inside cells of the body that helps make people who they are. It is basically the blueprints or instructions of how your body was made fact number three. All different molecules are different shapes and sizes depending on how many atoms they are made up of Molecules made up of two atoms are always linear and shape meaning they are a straight line. Some molecules are long spiral shapes While others may be pyramid shaped fact number four water is a chemical compound because it’s molecules have two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
Both of these atoms don’t have the properties of water. But when joined together, they make the chemical compound h2o which is water. This is the same with carbon dioxide as a molecules of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. A molecules and living cells are made up of hundreds of thousands of atoms. Number five there are two main types of bonds that hold most compounds together. These are covalent bonds and ionic bonds. The bonds are formed when atoms share particles called electrons with one another covalent bonds share electrons between atoms ionic bonds form when an electron from one atom is transferred permanently to another atom. Some compounds can have both type of bonds. I hope you enjoyed my five marvelous facts about molecules. See you later.
