The technology of large-scale chemical and chemical materials is called chemical engineering.
A chemical bond describes any of several forces or mechanisms, especially the ionic bond,
the covalent bond, and the metallic bond, by which atoms, both neutral and ionic, are
adhered together into a molecule or crystal.
Particles of various crystalline compounds can be considered to be macro-molecules.
Chemistry is the science of the composition, structure, properties, and reactions
of matter, especially of atomic and molecular systems, as opposed to nuclearisty,
which is concerned with individual atoms exclusively, and which, by definition, are way smaller
all by themselves than molecules, which can be considered as bunches of atoms, all stuck together
by various bonds.    The smallest molecules are two atoms of elemental gasses, and the largest
molecules are way, way bigger than that, especially organic molecules, which are grown
in laboratories without the benefit of various fertilizers, and are often left to simply
fend for themselves, picking up whatever stray electrons they can find in their immediate environment.
