Consider the following molecules : Br3O8, F2O, H2S4O6, H2S5O6, and C3O2. Count the number of atoms existing in their zero oxidation state in each molecule. Their sum is _______.
Total atom with zero oxidation number state are 6
Such a group of atoms is called a molecule. Obviously, there must be some force that holds these constituent atoms together in the molecules. The attractive force which holds various constituents (atoms, ions, etc.) together in different chemical species is called a chemical bond.
There are 4 types of chemical bonds which are formed by atoms or molecules to yield compounds.
