Categorizing Molecules: Types and Examples

The video explains the composition of molecules, categorizing them by the number and type of atoms. It covers monoatomic, diatomic, triatomic, and polyatomic molecules, providing examples for each. Additionally, it distinguishes between molecules of elements and compounds, illustrating with examples like oxygen, ozone, water, and carbon dioxide.
