Yes. All molecules of compounds must contain atoms of two or more different elements.

Molecules composed only of atoms of the same element are called polyatomic elements, not compounds.

Some examples of polyatomic elements are:

  1. diatomic elements - hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, chlorine
  2. triatomic elements - ozone (an alternate form of oxygen that is very reactive)
