The rally monkey came to national and world-wide attention during the Angels' appearance in the 2002 World Series, again against the San Francisco Giants. In the sixth game, the Angels were playing at home, but were trailing the series 3-2 and facing elimination.
Previously, polystyrene was the largest stable synthetic molecule, at 40 million hydrogen masses. To create their molecular giant, SchlÃ¼ter and his colleagues started with standard polymerisation, in which smaller molecules join up to form a long chain.
This happens via a chemical reaction. A molecule is the smallest amount of a chemical substance that can exist. Essentially, a compound is a type of molecule. A molecule can be made up of two or more atoms of the same element or two or more atoms of different elements. However, compounds are molecules that are made up of atoms of different molecule. Atoms are the basic units that all matter is made of. Atoms are tiny, ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 nanometers in width.
