An element is composed of only one kind of atom and cannot be broken down chemically. A compound is composed of atoms of two or more elements chemically bonded, and are either ionic or molecular. An ion is an atom that has gained or lost one or more electrons, developing a negative or positive charge, respectively. A molecule is two or more atoms covalently bonded.
No, O2 is a molecule. However there are oxide ion (O2-), the peroxide ion (O22-), and the superoxide ion (O2-).
This is a compound, a molecule.
It could be either. For example, a molecule of O2 or Cl2 is an element, but one of CH4 or NO3 is a compound.
The subscript number after the preceding element in a compound tells how many atoms of that element are in a molecule or formula unit of the compound. For example, the molecular formula for water, H2O indicates that there are 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen in one molecule of water. The formula unit for the ionic compound calcium chloride, CaCl2, indicates that there are 1 calcium ion and 2 chloride ions in a formula unit of calcium chloride.

No, O2 is a molecule. However there are oxide ion (O2-), the peroxide ion (O22-), and the superoxide ion (O2-).
Nitrogen is an element that is usually found alone as the N2 molecule. It is not a compound.
This is a compound, a molecule.
Hydrogen is an element. Also a molecule.
NH3 is molecule of ammoia. It is not element
It could be either. For example, a molecule of O2 or Cl2 is an element, but one of CH4 or NO3 is a compound.
A reaction when a free element or ion takes the place of and element or ion in a compound is called a single replacement reaction
It's an element
No it is an element
Molecule
An element, atom, crystal, compound, and molecule are all forms of matter.
