NO. Do you think table salt (NaCl) is anything like chlorine (Cl)? Na is a metal; Cl is a gas.

What type of elements form compounds that consist of molecules?
All compounds consist of molecules.
Can all elements form compounds?
Compounds are combinations of elements. They are different from molecules in the fact that Compounds cannot be a combination of the same element ( O2 ) instead compounds are combinations of different elements ( CO2 )
Are there more elements or more non-elements?
All matter is made up of various elements, and most elements are found in the form of compounds. There are far more compounds than there are elements.
Why elements and all compound exist as molecules?
All elements and all compounds do not exist as molecules. As examples, noble gases exist as individulal atoms and ionic compounds form lattices.
What are common compounds for helium?
There are no common compounds of helium and probably are no compounds of helium at all, because helium is the least reactive of all elements.
Are all elementsmade of compounds which may combine to form molecules?
No. Elements are not made of compounds. Elements may be combined to form compounds.
What type of elements form compounds that consist of molecules?

Are there more elements or more non-elements?
All matter is made up of various elements, and most elements are found in the form of compounds. There are far more compounds than there are elements.
What is the basic building block of all the compounds?
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.
Why elements and all compound exist as molecules?
All elements and all compounds do not exist as molecules. As examples, noble gases exist as individulal atoms and ionic compounds form lattices.
What are common compounds for helium?
There are no common compounds of helium and probably are no compounds of helium at all, because helium is the least reactive of all elements.
Do all groups on the periodic table ionize?
No, the elements in all groups do not ionise. Some of the elements share electrons to form compounds.
What is a characteristic of all compounds?
compounds can be decomposed by physical means.
Why are alkali metals rarely found as pure elements?
They are highly reactivated. they are reacting with other compounds.
What are the inorganic elements?
All elements other than carbon are likely to form inorganic compounds, and even carbon is at least sometimes found in inorganic compounds such as calcium carbonate.
What characteristic of the six elements found in all things allow them to form complex molecules?
they all tend to form multiple covalent bonds
