Which source-backed technical term is identified by this definition: "Bounded group of at least two atoms connected by chemical bonds."? Features: group of atoms; chemical bonds.

Answer options

• Correct: Molecule
  "Molecule" - target A molecule is a bounded group of at least two atoms connected. Molecule remains in definition scope chemical particle identity. The task targets this mapping, and Molecule remains correct in this prompt. Molecule belongs to the term family core chemistry term.
• Option: Isotope
  "Isotope" vs. "Molecule" An isotope distinguishes atom variants; misses the target mapping. Isotope remains in definition scope chemical particle identity. The task targets this mapping, so Isotope remains wrong in this prompt. Isotope belongs to the term family core chemistry term.
• Option: Ion
  "Ion" vs. "Molecule" An ion is a charged particle created by; misses the target mapping. Ion remains in definition scope chemical particle identity. The task targets this mapping, so Ion remains wrong in this prompt. Ion belongs to the term family core chemistry term.
• Option: Element
  "Element" vs. "Molecule" An element groups atoms with the same; misses the target mapping. Element remains in definition scope chemical particle identity. The task targets this mapping, so Element remains wrong in this prompt. Element belongs to the term family core chemistry term.

Solution

Molecule

Molecule fits: the definition and features group of atoms; chemical bonds distinguish the term in the chemical particle identity scope. The prompt targets Molecule, so the graph keeps this mapping stable against close alternatives. Source: Wikidata. As of: 2026-02-13.

Fun fact

Molecule carries the additional dataset detail chemical particle identity. The graph therefore uses a direct graph path.
