When atoms of different elements bond they form what molecules?

A Diatomic molecule contains two atoms.A Homoatomic molecule contains two or more atoms of one element.A Hetroatomic melocule contains at least two atoms of two or more elements.


Does a compound always contain at least two or more elements?

Yes, a compound is a substance composed of two or more elements that are chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio.


What do all compounds have in common?

All the compounds have at least two different types of atoms, they have mass and volume.


Can gold be a molecular compound if its made up of identical gold atoms?

No, gold made up of identical gold atoms would not be considered a molecular compound. Molecular compounds consist of different types of atoms chemically bonded together. In the case of pure gold, it is considered a metallic element.


The difference between atoms and molecules?

Atoms are just a single atom, obviously. Molecules are at least two atoms joined chemically, as opposed to a compound, which is at least two different elements joined together. For example, a single atom of Oxygen would be O. An oxygen molecule would be O2, O3, etc. A compound would be Oxygen and another element, such as Hydrogen, combined to make H2O (water, two Hydrogen, one Oxygen) or H3O (hydrogen peroxide, 3 oxygen, one hydrogen). This means that water is both a molecule (two or more atoms joined together) AND a compound (two or more atoms of different elements combined together). All compounds are molecules, but not all molecules are compounds.

Difference between atoms and molecules?

Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter, composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Molecules are formed when two or more atoms are chemically bonded together. In short, atoms are individual units, while molecules are made up of multiple atoms bonded together.


Do all compounds contain at least one element?

A compound consists of at least two elements chemically bonded together.


How many atoms has at least a single molecule?

Molecules are composed of atoms, not the other way around. The quantity of molecules needed for a component of a gas, liquid, or solid will depend upon the chemical composition and molecular structure.


Explain why O2 is a molecule but not a compound?

Oxygen gas (O2) is a molecule because it consists of two oxygen atoms chemically bonded together. However, it is not a compound because it is composed of only one type of element, oxygen. Compounds are substances made up of different types of atoms chemically bonded together.


What is formed from at least two types of chemically combined atoms?

A compound is formed when at least two different types of atoms are chemically combined. In a compound, the atoms are held together by chemical bonds which determine the properties and behavior of the substance.


Does a compound have at least 2 different kinds of atoms?

Yes but it is only true if both the atoms are diffrent. If they are both the same then it is not classed as a compound


What do molecules contain?

DNA contains nitrogenous base pairs (purines and pyrimidines), along with deoxyribose sugar, nucleosides and nucleotides.

Does molecules contain elements?

The simple answer is yes. A molecule is made up of elemental atoms. For example, a water molecule is made up of two hydrogen atoms bonded to an oxygen atom
