Answer 1

Answer:

Chemical compounds may be classified according to several different criteria. One common method is based on the specific elements present. For example, oxides contain one or more oxygen atoms, hydrides contain one or more hydrogen atoms, and halides contain one or more halogen (Group 17) atoms.

Answer 2

$Answer$

A molecule is a particle made up of two or more atoms that are chemically bonded together; the number of atomic nuclei making up a molecule is a determinate number. For example, HCl(g) is a molecule made of one hydrogen atom bonded to one chlorine atom. It is made of two atoms and is called a diatomic molecule.
