Question

differentiate molecule and compound​

Answer 1

Explanation:

A molecule may consists of atoms of one element only or may be more than one. But a compound is formed when atoms of at least two different elements combine. For example N2 is a molecule but not a compound and H2O is a molecule as well as a compound. So all compounds are molecules, but all molecules are not compounds.

Answer 2

Explanation:

A molecule is formed when two or more atoms of an element chemically join together. If the types of atoms are different from each other, a compound is formed. Not all molecules are compounds, because some molecules, such as hydrogen gas or ozone, consist only of one element or type of atom.
