Molecules

Describe the shapes of molecules and how that is the foundation of biology.

Molecules are made up of one or two of the same or different atoms. Molecules can have different shapes from a straight to a curve shape, but it all depends on the atoms it contains. The shape of the molecule depends on repulsion between electron pairs. Molecules combine to form compounds, where they lose all their individual properties and are given new ones. The different type of molecules in a compound are demonstrated in the formulas. Molecules are the foundation of biology because they are are fundamental structure of cells which is needed in living things. Cells that help our living body to function and give us the ability to do the things we  are able to do today. Biology is study of living things in the world
