Question

Which among the following options is not true about molecules?

• A. Molecules are indivisible particles.
• B. Molecules can exist independently.
• C. Molecules are formed by the combination of two or more atoms.
• D. Atoms combine in a fixed ratio to form a molecule.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Molecules are indivisible particles.

$\bullet$ A molecule is formed by the chemical combination of two or more atoms in a fixed proportion and are capable of existing independently.

$\bullet$ As combine to form molecules, molecules can be further divided into smaller particles.

$\bullet$ Examples of few molecules include water $\left(H_{2}O\right)$, carbon dioxide $\left(C{O}_2\right)$, etc.
