A group of atoms held together by bonds
Real World Example
Imagine trying to organize a group of friends for a dinner outing where everyone has different preferences and schedules. This situation is similar to a molecule, where various atoms (like your friends) come together, held by bonds (like your shared interest in dining) to form a cohesive group. Just as coordinating the dinner requires aligning everyone's tastes and availabilities, a molecule forms when atoms bond in specific ways to create a stable structure, illustrating the balance of forces and interactions that hold everything together.
