A molecule made up of two or more different elements is known as a compound. The atoms of these different elements are bonded together either ionically or covalentally. Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons where as covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons. The electrons involved in these bonding types are from the outer most electron shell of the atom.

Is molecule of water more complex than a mitochondrion?
Even though we are comparing apples and oranges, I'll say a molecule of water is more complex than an atom of an element of the molecule, and less complex than the nucleus of a cell.
Is an atom smaller than a molecule?
An atom is the basic unit of matter . It is virtually the smallest thing that exists and has the properties of an element . The size of an element can't really be measured . However , any amount of an element that consists of more than one atom would , of course , be larger than an atom . By definition , a molecule consists of 2 or more atoms , so no , an atom is not bigger than a molecule . (of course , this is taking in the average size of an atom . Atoms of extremely heavy elements , such as Uranium , would be comparable to the size of a molecule of hydrogen (h2) which is a very small molecule .
Why is glucose a compound?
Because it has more than one element and more than one element mixed together makes a compound
How is a molecule different from an atom or element?
An element is the most simple substance known to man. The elements can be found on the Periodic Table.An atom is one particle of an element. The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom corresponds to the element that it is.A molecule is one particle of a certain formation of atoms; it can be composed of one element, or it may be a compound (containing more than one element). For example, O2 is an oxygen molecule, composed of two oxygen atoms. N2 is a nitrogen molecule, composed of two nitrogen atoms.
What are examples of specific molecules?
A molecule is any chemical compound that contains more than one element. Water is a simple example made up of 2 atoms of hydrogen (H) and 1 atom of oxygen (O) hence, H2O is one molecule of water.
Can a diatomic molecule be made up of more than one element?
yes.
Is a molecule also an element?
No, the other way 'round. An element exists at the single-atom level. A molecule is made of more than one atom. It can be a single element(hydrogen is more stable if 2 form a molecule H2), or can be hugely complex and made up of many different elements.
Is molecule of water more complex than a mitochondrion?
Even though we are comparing apples and oranges, I'll say a molecule of water is more complex than an atom of an element of the molecule, and less complex than the nucleus of a cell.
Is a element smaller than an molecule?
The atom of an element is smaller than a molecule.
Is a compound a molecule composed of one type of element only?
No, a compound is a molecule composed of MORE THAN ONE type of element.
What is more specific than a cell but less specific than an element?
A molecule.
Which is smaller an element or a molecule?
An atom of an element is usually smaller than a molecule of a compound. Molecules are made by bonding 2 or more atoms, of one or more elements. The molecule is the smallest particle of a compound.
What is an ion containing more than one element?
molecule or compound
Why is sulfur an element and not a compound?
Sulfur is an element because it contains only one type of molecule. Whereas, compounds have more than one type of molecule.
Is carbon an element or a Molecule?
carbon is an element .. but it has a self linking property wherein more than one carbon atoms link together to form a molecule
What is made up of more than one atom?
Its a Molecule Its a Molecule
What is the difference between atoms elements compounds and molecules?
Element is a substance made up of only one kind of atoms. Compound r the substance which is made up of more than one or two kinds of atoms. For example-h2o(water) Molecule is a group of atoms which is made frm one or more than one kind of atoms.
