Solution

The correct option is B False

A molecule is formed by the reaction of atoms of the same or different kinds to attain stability.

Concept - atoms are highly reactive and quickly form new bonds to attain stability. Very few elements have their atoms in a free atomic state.

For example -

  1. Two hydrogen atoms quickly react with an atom of oxygen to form water.
  2. Two hydrogen atoms can react with each other to form a molecule of hydrogen gas.

Therefore, the given statement is false.
