Atoms And Molecules

Question

Could you make a distinction between a molecule and a compound?

Solution

A molecule is usually formed when at least two atoms of the same or different kinds combine. If two or three atoms of the same kind of element combine, then it is referred to as molecule of an element or simply molecule. For example, molecule of oxygen (O2) is formed by the combination of two oxygen atoms. Molecule formed by the union of two or more atoms of different elements is called a molecule of a compound or simply compound. For example, a molecule or a compound of carbon dioxide is formed by the union of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. However, the noble gases consists of molecules of single atoms only. For example, helium exists as He.
