electrons, protons, neutrons
The basic building block of all compounds is atoms. Compounds contain atoms of at least two different elements bonded to one another. Thus, atoms of elements are what form compounds.
Molecule
Atoms do not have bonds. Only compounds have bonds. it takes at least two atoms to have a bond.
Both contain at least two distinct kinds of atoms.
Both contain at least two distinct kinds of atoms.
To severely oversimplify it but remain accurate: quarks, leptons, intermediate vector bosons, and neutrinos. Every type of fundamental particle belongs to one of these categories, all particles in these categories are point particles (occupy zero volume).
A Diatomic molecule contains two atoms.A Homoatomic molecule contains two or more atoms of one element.A Hetroatomic melocule contains at least two atoms of two or more elements.
When forming compounds, metal atoms usually donate some of their electrons to atoms of more electronegative elements to form compounds with ionic bonds. some metals can share electrons with other elements to form at least partially covalently bonded compounds. In elemental form, metal atoms share their electrons in what is called a "sea of electrons" that extends throughout the volume of a piece of elemental metal.
Yes: compounds have to consist of at least two different elements.
Organic compounds with at least two carbon atoms attached through a single bond.
Molecules that contain at least two different types of elements are called compounds. Compounds are formed when atoms of different elements chemically bond together to create a new substance with unique properties. Water (H2O) is a common example of a compound that contains hydrogen and oxygen elements.
A compound is made of at least two different types of atoms. Compounds are formed when two or more elements chemically bond together. For example, water is a compound made of hydrogen and oxygen atoms.
