This is a question from my 10 year old unschooled daughter. She has read about 
the basics of atoms and molecules, but is now asking specific questions like 
this in order to put the pieces of her understanding together. This seemed like 
a simple question, but I have not found a simple answer for her. I hope you can 
help us. Thanks!
