The smallest particle of a compound that has all the chemical properties of that compound. Molecules are made up of two or more atoms, either of the same element or of two or more different elements. Ionic compounds, such as common salt, are made up not of molecules, but of ions arranged in a crystalline structure. Unlike ions, molecules carry no electrical charge. Molecules differ in size and molecular weight as well as in structure.
Compounds are comprised of species whose electronegativities differ by 3.5 or more. The individual components when dissociated are called ions. Molecules are comprised of species whose electronegativities are within the 3.5 range. They more or less share the electrons between them and contain covalent bonds. A molecule is a combination of 2 or more atoms linked with chemical bond and is neutral, however molecule can also represent polyatomic ions
