Mr. Wilson,
Can you help me. You ask, "How does the structure of atoms and molecules affect their behavior" I thought this was a little confusing because our red class never got into the discussion of how atoms behave. Can you help to clarify this

Hi, I don't know who posted this question, but I am in your class and I think I can help you. The structure refers to the number of bonding sites and where they are located, while the behavior refers to how they form molecules. For example, because oxygen has 2 bonding sites, it bonds with two hydrogen atoms to form a water molecule. That is the way I interpret that question.
This is a good response. We did not cover this question as in depth. The bonding sites are related to the electrons, but again we did not go into this as in depth. Think about the other format of the question, how is the periodic table arranged.
