There are two basic types of compounds. They are distinguished by by the manner in which the atoms bind to one another in the compound. These two types are called "molecular" compounds and "salts" (or equivalently "ionic" compounds):
Molecular compounds:These compounds are made up of molecules whose atoms bind to one another through "covalent" bonds.Salts:The atoms in salts are held together with "ionic" bonds. Unlike molecules, salts always form solids in a regular array called a "crystalline solid".
A bond is the "glue" that holds atoms together. In compounds this glue can either be covalent or ionic.
Covalent bonds:The electrons are sharedbetween atoms. Therefore this sharing of electrons provides the glue.Ionic bonds:Ionic bonds occur due to the mutual attraction between atoms with positive and negative charges i.e., ions.
Examples of Molecules

Acetaldehyde

n-hexane

Taxol
An Example of a Salt

Sodium Chloride (NaCl)

Answer:
Water (H2O) can be called a molecule or a compound because it is made of hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) atoms. There are two main types of chemical bonds that hold atoms together: covalent and ionic/electrovalent bonds. Atoms that share electrons in a chemical bond have covalent bonds.
