✌️✌️✌️✌️Molecule :


The combination of different atoms is called molecule, The atoms may be of any type.
Examples of Molecules:

1. Hydrogen gas molecule = H₂

2. Nitrogen gas = N₂

3. Carbon Dioxide gas = CO₂

4. Water = H₂O

5. Calcium Oxide = CaO


H₂ and CO₂ and H₂O are all molecules. But, all these molecules are not compounds.





✌️✌️✌️✌️Compound :


The molecules formed by the combination of different types of atoms is known as compound.


Examples of Compounds:

1. Carbon Dioxide gas = CO₂

2. Water = H₂O

3. Calcium Oxide = CaO


These are smallest constituent unit of substance and the whole substance is referred as compound.



_______"Explanation"_____________



Atoms are combined chemically to
form molecules. The substance containing same kind of atoms is known as elements.
Similarly, The substance containing same type of molecules is known as compound.

In another way, the smallest constituent unit of element is atom and smallest unit of compound is molecule.
