An atom is the smallest unit of matter that retains the properties of an element. An element is a substance made up of only one type of atom. A compound is a substance made up of atoms of two or more different elements chemically bonded together. Molecules are formed when atoms join together through chemical bonds, either of the same element or different elements.
All compounds are molecules, but not all molecules are compounds. Compounds are substances made up of two or more different elements chemically bonded together, while molecules can be a single element or a combination of different elements bonded together.
A molecule is the smallest unit of a substance that retains all the properties of that substance, while a compound is a substance made up of two or more different elements chemically bonded together. All compounds are molecules, but not all molecules are compounds.
Chemical bonds, such as covalent bonds and ionic bonds, link elements together to form compounds. These compounds have distinct molecular structures based on the arrangement of their constituent atoms. The type and strength of the bond between elements influence the properties of the resulting molecules.
Covalent bonds are typically formed between nonmetals, which then combine to form molecules in compounds. These elements share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration and create distinct molecular structures. Ionic bonds, on the other hand, form compounds that consist of ions rather than molecules.
Covalent bonding involves sharing of electrons between atoms, resulting in the formation of molecular compounds with individual molecules. Ionic bonding involves transfer of electrons from one atom to another, creating charged ions that are held together by electrostatic attraction, forming ionic compounds.
Nutrients are chemical compounds; they contain molecules - and the molecules are formed from chemical elements.
the ease with which the elements can be separated.
A molecule is formed when two or more atoms join together chemically. A compound is a molecule that contains at least two different elements. All compounds are molecules but not all molecules are compounds.

Compounds contain more than one element.
Elements are atoms, atoms are elements. Elements are not larger objects made up of smaller things (atoms). Elements are specific species' atoms, which have a specific atomic mass which gives rise to the characteristics of the element. Compounds are composed of elements. It is important to note the difference between a compound and a molecule; the words, although often used interchangeably, have aspecific meaning in chemistry. A molecule is a certain type of compound in which the elements have bonded covalently. As such, all compounds are not molecules, but all molecules are compounds.
Covalent bonding involves sharing of electrons between atoms, resulting in the formation of molecular compounds with individual molecules. Ionic bonding involves transfer of electrons from one atom to another, creating charged ions that are held together by electrostatic attraction, forming ionic compounds.
Polar compounds have stronger attractions between molecules.
A molecule is a group of atoms held together by chemical bonds. A compound is a type of molecule composed of atoms of two or more different elements. In other words, not all molecules are compounds, but all compounds are molecules.
