Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of chemical bonding: When atoms bond together, they form a stable arrangement by sharing or transferring electrons.

Identify the types of chemical species that can be formed when atoms bond: These include molecules, ions, and sometimes more complex structures like crystal lattices.

Define a molecule: A molecule is formed when two or more atoms bond covalently, sharing electrons to achieve a full outer electron shell.

Consider the other options: A crystal lattice is a repeating three-dimensional structure formed by ionic or covalent bonds, a plasma is a state of matter with free electrons and ions, and an ion is an atom or molecule with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of electrons.

Determine which option best describes the result of atoms bonding: Since a molecule is specifically formed by atoms bonding covalently, it is the correct answer in this context.
