Ions are formed by one atom taking an electron or electrons from anothe atom. This forms individual charged particles -- ions which attract each other to form a relatively large crystaline structure. This is an ionic compound.
Moleculecs are formed by atoms which share electrons throught a strong bond which holds them together in very small individual structures called molecules. These may have weak attractions to other molecules but, like water, there is not a strong enough attraction to form solid crystal structures.

∙ 10y agoSome molecular compounds, such as methyl mercury, contain both metals and nonmetals. Most molecular compounds contain only nonmetals, and all molecular compounds contain at least one nonmetal element.
Molecular compounds are formed by two chemical reactions forming in the cell of the nucleus.
Isomers.
carbon tetrachloride
It is Molecular Compound. You can tell because it starts with a nonmetal and molecular compounds typically start with nonmetals.
Molecular compounds certainly can be formed from semimetals, but not all the compounds of semimetals are molecular.
simple molecular compounds have weak forces of atraction.
the relationship between prefixes and molecular compounds is that, prefix are used to name molecular compounds.
When molecular compounds bond, they share electrons.
Correct, molecular Compounds have covalent bond.
Because there are no compounds that aren't molecules/molecular. The question as posed is nonsense. Rephrase?
Molecular compounds tend to have lower melting points.
Some molecular compounds, such as methyl mercury, contain both metals and nonmetals. Most molecular compounds contain only nonmetals, and all molecular compounds contain at least one nonmetal element.
Molecular (covalent) compounds are not dissociated in water.
Atoms are arranged in molecular compounds in groups.
Molecular compounds are formed by two chemical reactions forming in the cell of the nucleus.
Molecular. (Molecular and covalent compounds are the same).
