Molecule

Real World Example

Imagine trying to keep a group of friends together for a group photo at a busy event. Just like how you need to hold your friends close to make sure everyone is captured in the picture, a molecule is a group of atoms held together by bonds to form a complete structure. In this analogy, the friends represent the atoms, the act of holding them together for the photo is similar to the chemical bonds, and the resulting group photo is akin to the complete molecule.
