Molecules, Monatomic, Crystal Lattices

Question 1

Molecules

Answer 1

Clusters of 2 or more atoms bonded together. Molecules are identical, the same size, same shape, have the same number and type of atom. For example: The oxygen molecule is presented by O2 because there are 2 oxygen atoms.

Combinations of elements bonded together

Question 2

Monatomic

Answer 2

An element made up of many individual atoms.

Single atoms not bonded

Question 3

Crystal Lattices

Answer 3

Large grid like structures that repeat the same arrangement of atoms again and again. All metallic elements form crystal lattices but only a few non metallic elements form crystal lattices.
