What compounds that are made up of molecules?

By its very name, a compound has at least two component parts, each of which would have molecules. In combining to form a compound, the entire parent materials may not be fully incorporated into the compound - there may be a surplus of one of them. There are a small group of elements which decline to form chemical bonds - these are known as the noble elements. (Helium, Neon, Argon etc. )


How is compound different then molecules?

COMPOUND-(kom' pound), A substance made up of atoms of more than one element joined together in a mole culeMOLECULE-(mol' e kyul), Two or more atoms joined together; the smallest unit of many substancesAnd that is what is so different about them


Two or more elements that combine as a result of a chemical reaction form?

A compound is formed. The process may require a certain amount of energy (heat) to react, or it may release energy in the form of heat.


Is a covalent compound a molecular compound?

Yes, a covalent compound is a type of molecular compound. Covalent compounds are formed by sharing electrons between atoms, leading to the formation of molecules. These compounds typically consist of nonmetals bonded together.


What is a hydrated compound?

Solid inorganic compounds that have bound water molecules attached to the atoms, either coordinated to the molecule or directly to the metal atom. The water generally will not affect the chemistry (after all a lot of reactions take place in aqueous solvents anyway), but may affect the colour of the compound. It is termed water of crystallisation; and as the name implies the water molecules are bound in the lattice when crystallised. When writing a formula, it will look something like MgSO4.7H2O, meaning magnesium sulfate has 7 water molecules bound to it, and is a hepta-hydrate. The water can be removed simply by heating it up. Technically the compound is "wet" even though it will look and feel like a dry powder. Anhydrous compounds are ones that do not contain any coordinated water. Anhydrous compounds that will coordinated a large number of water molecules are widely used to "dry" mixtures where a little water may contaminate an organic solvent as the water binds to the substance, but the substance remains in a powdered form, often clumping, so is easily removed by filtration.

What is water in?

If you mean regular water, two hydrogen molecules and one oxygen. But, in city water treatment facilities, fluoride and a small amount of chlorine may be added in.

How many molecules of ATP is needed to blink?

The act of blinking requires a very small amount of energy, which can be provided by only a few molecules of ATP. Studies estimate that a blink may require around 1-2 molecules of ATP to execute the movement of the muscles involved.


Breathing in or swallowing a large amount of a uranium compound may be fatal?

Yes, it is possible.


What does slightly soluble means?

There is an appreciable amount of solute that is soluble in a given solvent. The amount of solute dissolved won't be nearly as great as a compound that was soluble in the given solvent, however the solubility does exceed that of insoluble compounds which dissolve compounds in such small amounts that it may be negligible.


Does the oil on your hand kill the THC in marijuana?

THC is a chemical compound, not a living thing; you can't kill it. The oils on your hands may dissolve a small amount of THC from any plant that is handled, but not enough to affect it.

What is the molecular description of distilled water?

It is the same as ordinary water except that ordinary water molecules may be mixed with a small number of molecules of solutes.


How will plants respond if there is small amount of sunlight?

i think plants can respond. but small amount of sunlight may cause to slow growing of the plant because it may not produce a large amount o foods that they need to be stong and i think plants will be malnourish. :)
