True. A good example of this is oxygen, which is found in nature as O subscript(the little number) 2. They can break and creates molecules that are compounds, for example H subscript 2 O.
- When atoms combine by forming covalent bonds, the resulting collection of atoms is called a molecule.
- Atoms are made up of electrons, neutrons, and protons. Due to the charges in the atom, that is how the atom stays together, by attraction of the electric charges present in the atom.
