How is a compound and a molecule similar?

Answer 1

A molecule is the smallest particle of an element. An element is one of a table of unique elements each in their purest form. A compound is the chemical bonding of two or more elements. So, as you can see, a molecule is not at all similar to a compound.

Answer 2

A "substance" can be an element, a compound or a mixture. Sodium is an element. Table salt is a compound--react sodium with chlorine and get table salt, if you don't get killed in the attempt. (Most people don't make their own.) The Salt and Pepper seasoning at my favorite sub shop is a mixture. But all three are substances!

Answer 3

Both compounds and molecules are made up of two or more atoms bonded together. A molecule is the smallest unit of a compound, and compounds are substances made up of different types of atoms bonded together in a specific ratio.

Answer 4

they are not exactly the same thing but are very similar:

they contain multiple atoms which may or may not be of the same element-a compound is made up of different elements

Answer 5

A compound is a cluster of atoms while an element is made up of only one atom
