Question

Molecules are made of a combination of similar atoms only.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. A molecule can either be made of the same or different types of atoms.
2. For example, hydrogen molecule ( ${\mathrm{H}}_2$) and nitrogen molecule(and ${\mathrm{N}}_2$) are made up of the same type of atoms.
3. Water molecule( ${\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}$) and carbon dioxide molecule (${\mathrm{CO}}_2$) are made up of different types of atoms.

Hence the statement that molecules are made up of similar atoms is false.
