A molecular compond is one that consists of molecules. For example methane CH4 consists of individual molecules with a tetraheral shape with a central carbon atom surrounded by 4 hydrogen atoms. Molecular compounds are held together by covalent bonds.
In contrast sodium chloride (common salt, NaCl) does not contain molecules but is made up of ions, (charged atoms, Na+ and Cl-) which in the solid state form a lattice.
The molecular compound for sulfur tetroxide is SO4.
Tetranitrogen tetraselenide is the name of the compound.
No, OH- is not a molecular compound, it is a polyatomic ion called hydroxide. It consists of one oxygen atom and one hydrogen atom.
The molecular compound SiB6 is called silicon hexaboride.
The molecular compound name for N2P3 is dinitrogen triphosphide.

molecular
Barium hydroxide is a molecular compound.
Fluorine is molecular, but it is an element, not a compound.
When naming a molecular compound, generally
Iodine is a molecular compound because it contains two atoms of the same element chemically bonded together.
The molecular compound for sulfur tetroxide is SO4.
H2SO4 is a molecular compound because it is composed of covalent bonds between nonmetal atoms (hydrogen, sulfur, and oxygen).
It is a molecular (covalent) compound. Present day text books refer to a covalent compound as a molecular compound, as opposed to an ionic one.
