What Makes a Molecule? | Neil deGrasse Tyson Explains…?

A molecule is like a group of friends holding hands and dancing together, they’re all connected and move as one.

Imagine you have building blocks, like Legos. Each block has a color and shape. When you put two or more blocks together in a special way, they form something new, like a little Lego car or house. That’s what atoms do when they join up to make a molecule.

Atoms are like tiny people with sticky hands. They can stick to each other by sharing parts of themselves, kind of like how you and your friend might share a toy so you both get to play with it. When atoms connect this way, they form a molecule, which is just a group of atoms that have joined together.

You’re made up of millions of these tiny molecule friends! For example, water is made of two types of atoms, hydrogen and oxygen, sticking together in pairs. That’s why you can drink water and feel it as it moves through your body, it's all just molecules doing their dance!
