An atom is the smallest component of any element having all the chemical properties of that specific element.
A molecule is the simplest complete structural unit of an element or compound that can exist in nature.
A compound is a substance consisting of two or more different elements or molecules formed by the chemical union of two or more elements or molecules in definite proportion by weight.

∙ 9y agoAn atom is the smallest component of any element having all the chemical properties of that specific element.
A compound is a substance consisting of two or more different elements.
An element is any of the more than 100 known substances, of which 92 occur naturally, that constitute all matter.

∙ 9y agoAll substances are made of tiny particles. The simplest kind of particle that can exist on its own is called an atom. Sometimes atoms join together, and one way they can do this results in a molecule, which is two or more atoms joined by covalent bonds.Pure substances are either elements or compounds. Elements such as oxygen contain only one kind of atom. Compounds such as water and salt contain more than one kind of atom chemically joined together.

An element is defined by the same type of atoms (including isotopes).
An atom is the simplest form of matter indestructible by chemical methods.

What atoms form when they combine together?
They create molecules. If the atoms joined together are from different elements they create polar molecules.
What is a group of atoms that are joined together by chemical bonds?
Molecule
What are compounds with the same structural formula but different arrangements of atoms in space called?
Isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula but different arrangements of atoms.
What does this mean about enzyme molecules?
Molecule is the general term used to describe atoms connected by chemical bonds. Every combination of atoms is a molecule. Compounds happen with atoms from different elements. So, all compounds are molecules, because they have bonds between the atoms, like in water (H2O).
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.
What Molecules that are made up of different atoms are?
Molecules made up of different elements (different atoms) are called compounds.
What are molecules that are made up of different atoms called?
compounds
Molecules made up of different atoms are called what?
Compounds
Are molecules that are made up of different kind of atoms called compounds?
No it is not, and there is only one or two kinds of atoms but compounds is not one of them. :)
What is the question of a molecule and a compound?
A molecule is when two atoms are bonded together. A compound is when two DIFFERENT atoms are bonded together. All compounds are molecules. Not all molecules are compounds.
What do atoms fuse to form into?
Atoms can fuse together to form molecules or compounds.
What is different between an atom to a molecule?
Molecules are compounds composed of many atoms.
Are molecules samller then atoms?
No, they are compounds of atoms
What parts of atoms combine to form different compounds with different properties?
I think electron cloudElectrons, especially the valence electrons (in the outmost orbitals), are involved in bonding atoms to other atoms to form new molecules of different compounds.
What atoms form when they combine together?
They create molecules. If the atoms joined together are from different elements they create polar molecules.
What is a group of atoms that are joined together by chemical bonds?
Molecule
Are all atoms made up of molecules which may combine to form elements?
No. Molecules are made of atoms, not the other way around. Atoms of different elements combine to form compounds.
