A molecule is the smallest particle of an element. An element is one of a table of unique elements each in their purest form. A compound is the chemical bonding of two or more elements. So, as you can see, a molecule is not at all similar to a compound.

∙ 15y agoA "substance" can be an element, a compound or a mixture. Sodium is an element. Table salt is a compound--react sodium with chlorine and get table salt, if you don't get killed in the attempt. (Most people don't make their own.) The Salt and Pepper seasoning at my favorite sub shop is a mixture. But all three are substances!
