All snakes have teeth, venomous ones have fangs. The ones that dont have fangs have very small gripper type teeth that line the top and bottom lips used for grabbing prey. Venomous snakes have fangs and small teeth as well.

No, snakes do not have chewing teeth. Snakes have a pair of retractable fangs. Some types of snakes use their fangs to inject venom into their prey, while other snakes non-venemous snakes use their fangs to grab hold of their pray and latch on while they wrap themselves around to strangle the prey. Snakes do not need chewing teeth because they swallow their food whole.

IDK because stupid ask.com doesn't help

sorry
Nope, molars are only present in herbivorous and omnivorous animals, and snakes are obligate carnivores and plant matter does not make up any part of their diet.

A snake will bite its prey to secure it, but will not chew. Snakes swallow their prey whole.

Premolars are similar to molars but differ in function. Molars only grind whereas premolars hold and grind your food. Anatomically they are different as well.
