There are 4 different elements (Na, H, C, and O) in the molecule, but 6 total atoms. the HCO3 atoms are all bonded covalently with each other, and the Na is ionically bonded to one of the oxygens. Look up a structure of sodium bicarbonate, if needed for clarification.
The question should be: the no. of atomic species in 1 molecule of NaHCO3the elements: Na, H, C, O;So Ans: 4
compound is when two or more elements combine chemically
A molecule of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3) contains three different elements: sodium (Na), hydrogen (H), carbon (C), and oxygen (O).
A combination of chemical symbols that show what elements make up a compound and the number of atoms of each element in the smallest unit of the compound is a chemical formula.
particles called atoms are the smallest unit. Several atoms combine to make a molecule and molecules are what form substances such as water

A compound. (Could also be a mixture depending on if they are fused together or mixed)
A combination of chemical symbols that show what elements make up a compound and the number of atoms of each element in the smallest unit of the compound is a chemical formula.
If it is a pure substance, than only one! Now that pure substance may contain many different elements (as many elements can make up a single pure compound), but a pure substance means only one compound.
An element is the most broken down form of any substance. For example, if you could take a molecule of iron and look at it, that would be an element. A compound is made up of different elements. For example, if you could take a molecule of water and look at it, you would be looking at hydrogen and oxygen bonded together.
NH
if you see you can make 3 elements are in each compound of this molecule. I THINK!
A compound is a mix of different atoms to make a molecule of that compound, whereas an element is just the same types of atoms. Ex.: Compound: ABABABA Element: AAAAAAAA
Hydrogen is an element itself. It usually makes a covalent bond to make a hydrogen molecule. It is the lightest existing atom and compound respectively.
Oxygen is a molecule because it is an element. Just like hydrogen, gold, Mercury, and argon. A compound is a combination of two elements that form to make a single substance such as water, which is H20. It has 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. Compound means combination of 2 different things.
