Question

Same type of atoms combines combine to form molecules of elements.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Definition of molecules

Molecules are the smallest units of matter that can exist independently. Two or more atoms combine in a simple whole-number ratio to form molecules.

Based on the type of atoms present in a molecule, molecules can be two types

1. Molecules of elements
2. Molecules of compounds

Molecules of elements

Atoms of certain elements combine to form molecules of those elements. Example- molecule of oxygen(${\mathrm{O}}_2$),molecules of hydrogen(${\mathrm{H}}_2$).

Molecules of compounds

The molecules of a certain substance are made up of two or more types of atoms. Example- molecule of water(${\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}$),molecule of carbon dioxide (${\mathrm{CO}}_2$).

Therefore the given statement is true ie, the same type of atoms combines combine to form molecules of elements.
