Compounds are substances (things made out of only one type of chemical) made of molecules - i.e., like an atom is to an element, so a molecule is to a compound.
Thus in general terms, a single unit of table salt is a molecule (though more technically it is a formula unit, since it is an ionic compound. Ionic compounds don't usually exist as just one unit, though the concept is useful for calculations, hence the distinction) and a bunch of units of table salt is a compound.
everything is made of molecules is also a compound so both
Neither. Table salt is an ionic compound.
Table salt, or NaCl, does not form molecules - rather, it is a collection of Na+ and Cl- ions in a 1:1 ratio, hence the name "ionic compound". Water, or H2O, is a molecule. It consists of two hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to a central oxygen atom.
A molecule is the smallest part of salt because salt is an ionic compound composed of positively charged ions (sodium) and negatively charged ions (chloride) held together by strong electrostatic forces. These ions combine in a fixed ratio to form a stable compound, making the molecule the smallest unit that retains the chemical properties of salt.
This is a compound, a molecule.
The traditional answer is molecule. However, it is not now usual to refer to a formula unit of an ionic compound in this way.
Neither. Table salt is an ionic compound.
compound. the molecule is NaCl.
Salt (NaCl) is an inorganic compound.
Two or more elements that are chemically bonded form a molecule of a chemical compound. This is the simple and direct answer to a good basic chemistry question. A molecule. However, if the chemical bond is ionic (like in a salt), it isn't called a molecule, but instead a compound. There are no salt molecules!
NaCl is a Sodium Chloride molecule,and is a Polar Bond.

Sodium chloride is an example of a common table salt.
Salt is neither. It is a molecule comprised of NaCl (Sodium and chloride) and is bonded together with something called an ionic bond. Therefore it is not a solution, but a chemical compound.

A molecule is the smallest part of salt because salt is an ionic compound composed of positively charged ions (sodium) and negatively charged ions (chloride) held together by strong electrostatic forces. These ions combine in a fixed ratio to form a stable compound, making the molecule the smallest unit that retains the chemical properties of salt.
all types of salt can dissolve in water. Anything containing Sodium (Na) is dissolvable in water. Tabel salt, or NaCl is an example of that.
