Answer:
When atoms from two or more different elements bond, they form a compound. Water is considered a molecule because the moment one of the bonds between a hydrogen and an oxygen atom are broken, water's properties will change. However, oxygen is not a compound because it is formed by two atoms of the same element.

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.
