A molecule is formed when two or more atoms join together. And a compound is a molecule that contains at least two different elements. So all compounds are molecules but not all molecules are compounds.

∙ 14y agoNo, they're not. Molecules are like the smallest parts of a compound, so water is a compound made up of molecules of H2O, and these molecules are made up of elements / atoms (oxygen and hydrogen). You have lots of elements making up a molecule (2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen - water) and lots of molecules making up a compound.
Hope this helps! :):):):)

∙ 12y agoCompounds being defined as molecules composed from more than one type of atom, there is just one example where the Answer is No: that is the diatomic molecule, such as H2, N2 or O2.
Wiki User
∙ 16y agoYes because compponds are made of different atoms that create moleclues!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wiki User
∙ 10y agomost of the time, but not always. for example, sodium chloride is made up of sodium atoms and chloride atoms that form a crystalline structure< not exactly a molecule
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoSometimes
Because a water can be a moeclue (if it the 2 Hydrogen and 1 Oxgean atoms are chemically put together) and Coompound ( Water has two different elements that make it up)

What are compounds made up of?
molecules.
Are all molecules considered compounds?
No. Ionically bonded compounds are not considered molecules.
Why do polar and nonpolar molecules have different properties?
Compounds differ because of differences in attractions between their molecules.
Why all compounds are molecules but not all molecules are compound?
A few elements normally exist as molecules: hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and the halogen gasses of group 7 on the periodic table. Two atoms of these gasses will combine to form a molecule (such as H2, O2, Cl2), but since they are the same type of atom, they are not compounds.
Carbon bonding is almost entirely what?
Carbon based molecules are part of the family of compounds known as organic. Carbon bonding to other atoms is almost always of covalent nature; electrons are shared.
How are molecules and compounds similar?
Compounds are made of molecules
What is the total electric charge on molecules and compounds?
The total electric charge is always zero.
Are compounds composed to molecules?
Are compounds composed OF molecules? Yes they are.
In a chemical change what is always formed?
A chemical change always forms one or more products which can be elements, molecules, and/or compounds.
Are all compounds molecules?
YES!!!!!!!! All compounds are molecules HOWEVER not all molecules are compoundsTechnically, no. Ionic compounds form a crystal lattice rather than individual molecules. A compound is any combination of at least two different elements.
Do all compounds have chemical formulas?
Yes, all compounds are molecules, but not all molecules are compounds
Organic compounds always contain what?
Organic molecules contain carbon, and most of them have hydrogen as well.
Can compounds be made up of many molecules?
yes compounds can be made of many molecules
What type of elements form compounds that consist of molecules?
All compounds consist of molecules.
What compounds are composed of molecules?
coavalent compounds
Do polar compounds have stronger or weaker attractions between molecules?
Polar compounds have stronger attractions between molecules.
Are all compounds composed of molecule's?
some compounds are composed of molecules bound by ionic compounds so no
