Molecules & Extended Structure Vocabulary

molecule

• a representation of an object which makes important aspects easier to see

• the connection between atoms in more complex particles

• a group of two or more atoms that are held together by chemical bonds; a molecule has a unique composition and structure

• the specific way in which the bonds and atoms are arranged within the molecules of a substance

chemical bond

• the connection between atoms in more complex particles

• a structure whose subunits occur in a constant ratio and are arranged in a repeating pattern; the subunit can be individual atoms or a molecule

• a solid structure whose atoms or molecules are arranged in a repeating, three-dimensional pattern

• the types of elements that make up a substance, as well as the specific ratios of atoms of each kind of element that make it up

model

• a type of extended structure that is made of many smaller, repeating subunits in a chain; the repeating subunit is a unique molecule

• a representation of an object which makes important aspects easier to see

• a group of two or more atoms that are held together by chemical bonds; a molecule has a unique composition and structure

• the specific way in which the bonds and atoms are arranged within the molecules of a substance
