My forum work is never done.

The "molecules" are structurally fine - discounting the fact that during the
"Big Bang" there would be so much energy that stable molecules wouldn't even
exist.
Also, there would be so much "stuff" flying around, that it would be impossible
to see anything.

I recall watching a video where things had to condense prior to photons being
able to pass through the soup.

With regard to physics, this reminds me of this thread:

Make your molecules spin, and possibly add a tiny wobble/nutation.
Things moving in a vacuum don't change direction in the absence of collision.
So make them spin constantly and wobble constantly.  It will look more
"natural".  At present, it kinda makes me twitch.  ;)

If you want molecular complexity, you can have 1 or 2 atoms bonded, and 3, 4, 5,
or 6 atoms bonded to a central atom at maximal angular distances from one
another.
See "Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion" (VSEPR) theory.
