Molecular compounds are composed of all types of elements. I think the answer you're going for is what type of BONDS are molecular compounds composed of. In which case, the answer would be covalant, however this can vary between polar and nonpolar covalant, that's what a molecular compound is made of, otherwise it's an ionic compound.

Differentiate element and compound?
element is a substance which consists of same kind of atoms while compound is a substance which consists of two or more kinds of atoms in a fixed ratio. examples of elements :- nitrogen,oxygen,carbon and examples of compound are water,carbondioxide..
How does elements combine to form elements why not compounds?
Elements are pure samples of only one type of atom. By definition, elements combing make a compound. You cannot have a pure combination of something.
Pure substances made from only one type of atom are?
This would be called an element, or a mono-atomic compound.
Is an element the same thing as a compound?
A chemical compound is a substance composed of 2 or more same or different elements chemically bonded together in a fixed proportion by mass. while an element is a substance that is composed of only one type of atom. eg. manganese, copper, mercury etc etc
What cannot be separated into its individual elements by physical means?
Various chemical compounds eg Hydrogen Peroxide.
What type of elements typically compose molecular compounds?
Molecular compounds are formed when the intramolecular bonds are covalent instead of ionic. These are formed by non-metallic atoms bonding with other non-metallic atoms.
What is the difference of a element and a compounds?
An element is composed of only one type of atom. Compounds are composed of different types of atoms (different elements) that are chemically combined.
Elements are composed of atoms and compounds are composed of?
Elements are atoms, atoms are elements. Elements are not larger objects made up of smaller things (atoms). Elements are specific species' atoms, which have a specific atomic mass which gives rise to the characteristics of the element. Compounds are composed of elements. It is important to note the difference between a compound and a molecule; the words, although often used interchangeably, have aspecific meaning in chemistry. A molecule is a certain type of compound in which the elements have bonded covalently. As such, all compounds are not molecules, but all molecules are compounds.
What are the two type of substances?
Elements and compounds
What general type element is involved in Type 2 compounds?
Binary compounds are those in which two elements combine. If one is a metal and the other a non-metal, the result is an ionic compound. If both are non-metals, that is called a molecular compound.
What are the type of substance?
Elements and compounds
Where are elements listed and why compounds are not found there?
Elements are listed in the Periodic Table of Elements. Compounds are not listed there because they are not elements they are compounds. An element is a substance made up of one type of atom, compounds are formed from combinations of different elements.
Are cycloalkanes binary molecular compound?
No, cycloalkanes are not binary molecular compounds. They are a type of organic compound and are named differently.
What type of elements form compounds that consist of molecules?
All compounds consist of molecules.
Elements are composed of what type of atoms?
A single type of atom. Which is the definition of an element
What are molecule compounds?
Naming Binary Molecular CompoundsBinary molecular compounds are composed of only two elements. Examples are H2O, NO, SF6 etc. . Naming these binary compounds is a little bit more involved than naming salts. Why is this so? Molecular compounds are more difficult to name because the atoms combine through covalent and not ionic bonds. Therefore we cannot use the electrical neutrality rule for these compounds. Most molecular compounds are made from nonmetals. Sometimes these compounds have generic or common names (e.g., H2O is "water") and they also have systematic names (e.g., H2O, dihydrogen monoxide). The common name must be memorized. The systematic name is more complicated but it has the advantage that the formula of the compound can be deduced from the name. Simple binary compounds consist of only a few atoms. Systematic naming of these compounds follow the rules: * The elements , except for H, are are written in order of increasing group number (e.g., NO not ON) * The number of atoms of a given type is designated by a prefix such as di- , tri-, tetra- etc. (The exception to this rule is for the first atom: if the first atom is "mono" then no prefix for it is given.) (e.g., NO is nitrogen monoxide not mononitrogen monoxide)
How many different types of compounds are there?
Well depends what you mean by how many different types of compounds. In total? Or type 1 , and 2 etc. there is Type 1-Binary Compounds Type 2- Binary Trans-metallic Compounds Type 3- Binary Molecular Compounds Type 4- Ternary Compounds etc. these contains vast amounts of compounds so gives you an idea.
