Mg(NO3)2 is magnesium nitrate and it is not an element, but is a compound. Each molecule has 1 Mg atom + 2 N atoms + 6 O atoms for a total of 9 atoms per molecule. The more molecules you have, the more atoms you have.
It is a compound. It is made up of N and H
A compound: any formula that contains more than one kind of atomic symbols represents a compound.
It's a compound. H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide. It as two different elements that is what a compound is.
Nitrogen naturally occurs as a diatomic molecule (N2). Nitrogen, by itself, is an element.

When elements combine chemically compounds are formed. For instance, when hydrogen and oxygen gases chemically combine, water is formed. Note that if a molecule is made up of only one element, it is referred to as an element, not a compound.
Well the question I was asked was "The union of two or more atoms of the same element, or the smallest part of a compound that retains the compound's properties is called a(n)" A molecule.
Nitrogen (N) is a chemical element.
Nitrogen is an element. It is usually found as the molecule N2 not N. Therefore there are two atoms of nitrogen in this molecule.
