Compounds can actually be molecules. A molecule is simply the smallest amount of something. A compound is a molecule composed of more than one type of atom. For instance, carbon dioxide has a chemical formula of CO2. Therefore there is one atom of Carbon, and two of Oxygen. Together, they form a single molecule of carbon dioxide. On the other hand, the element oxygen is composed of two oxygen atoms, which make up one molecule. However, this molecule is only composed of ONE atom, and is thus not a compound but an element.
What else can I help you with?
How are molecules and compounds similar?
Compounds are made of molecules
Are compounds composed to molecules?
Are compounds composed OF molecules? Yes they are.
Do all compounds have chemical formulas?
Yes, all compounds are molecules, but not all molecules are compounds
What compounds are composed of molecules?
coavalent compounds
Are all molecules considered compounds?
No, not all molecules are considered compounds. Molecules can be compounds if they are made up of different elements bonded together chemically. However, molecules can also be made of just one type of element, in which case they are not considered compounds.
Do polar compounds have stronger or weaker attractions between molecules?
Polar compounds have stronger attractions between molecules.
Which items are related to compounds?
New physical properties are some of the items related to compounds.
Are all compounds composed of molecule's?
some compounds are composed of molecules bound by ionic compounds so no
What do atoms fuse to form into?
Atoms can fuse together to form molecules or compounds.
Are all compounds molecules?
YES!!!!!!!! All compounds are molecules HOWEVER not all molecules are compoundsTechnically, no. Ionic compounds form a crystal lattice rather than individual molecules. A compound is any combination of at least two different elements.
What are the common molecules for uranium?
Uranium (as an element) has atoms, not molecules; uranium compounds are molecules.
Can molecules be made by inorganic compounds?
Yes, many molecules are inorganic.
