Answer 2

Answer.

Molecule of element = 1. An element cannot be broken into simple substances by any physical or chemical process.

2. Element have their own fixed physical and chemical properties.

3. An atom is the smallest particle of an element taking part in a chemical reaction.

Molecule of compound = Compound is composed of two or more elements chemically combined in definite properties by mass.

2. Physical and chemical properties of a compound are different from those of its constituent elements.

3. A compound cannot be separated into its constituents by simple mechanical means.
