Atoms of different elements can combine to make new compounds. A molecule is formed when two or more atoms join together chemically. If atoms combine that are of two or more different elements, we call that a compound. All compounds are molecules, but not all molecules are compounds.
( When two hydrogen atoms combine with one oxygen atom, it becomes the compound water. The oxygen we breathe is actually two atoms of oxygen combined, so it is a molecule of oxygen. We use abbreviations for elements. These abbreviations for elements are called chemical symbols. When two or more atoms combine to form a molecule or compound, the abbreviation is known as a chemical formula. )
