A compound is a substance made by bonding at least 2 different elements, while a molecule is a substance made by bonding at least 2 atoms. Therefore, every compound is a molecule, but not every molecule is a compound.
For example, H2, Cl2, O2, O3, and C60 are five different molecules, but they aren't compounds.
However, CO, CO2, H2O, H2O2, and C6H12O6 are five different compounds, but they're also molecules.

How are the molecules in polymers different from the molecules of other compounds?
A polymer is a long chain of small molecules (monomers).
Why one mole of different compounds have different masses but have same number of molecules?
One mole of different compounds have different masses but have same number of molecules because that is the definition of a mole - a mole is about 6.022x1023 molecules of any particular material - and is normalized to the mass of Carbon-12.
Can all elements form compounds?
Compounds are combinations of elements. They are different from molecules in the fact that Compounds cannot be a combination of the same element ( O2 ) instead compounds are combinations of different elements ( CO2 )
What is a group of atoms that are joined together by chemical bonds?
Molecule
What are binary molecular compounds made out of?
Everything you can touch is made up of molecules. From simple compounds like water (H2O) to giant molecules that make up biological tissue. Only the noble/Inert gases exist as monatomic atoms.
Is apple sauce a atom or molecules?
It is made up of different molecules / compounds.
What Molecules that are made up of different atoms are?
Molecules made up of different elements (different atoms) are called compounds.
How are molecules different form elements?
Molecules aren't different because they are the smallest part of a compound. Compounds are made up of multiple kinds of elements. So molecules are the elements that make up of the compounds.
How are the molecules in polymers different from the molecules of other compounds?
A polymer is a long chain of small molecules (monomers).

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.
Can all elements form compounds?
Compounds are combinations of elements. They are different from molecules in the fact that Compounds cannot be a combination of the same element ( O2 ) instead compounds are combinations of different elements ( CO2 )
Why do polar and nonpolar molecules have different properties?
Compounds differ because of differences in attractions between their molecules.
