The formula unit of a compound represents the simplest whole number ratio of elements in the compound. This can be determined by looking at the molecular formula of the compound or by performing chemical analysis to find the empirical formula. The formula unit is used in ionic compounds, while the molecular formula is used for covalent compounds.
The smallest unit of a molecular compound with the properties of that compound is a molecule. It consists of two or more atoms that are chemically bonded together in a specific arrangement that determines the compound's properties.

The representative unit of a molecular compound is a molecule composed of nonmetal atoms held together by covalent bonds, while the representative unit of an ionic compound is a formula unit composed of positively and negatively charged ions held together by electrostatic forces. Molecular compounds typically have lower melting and boiling points compared to ionic compounds due to weaker intermolecular forces.
Smallest unit of a compound is a molecule.
A molecule is the representative particle of a molecular compound. Molecules don't have representative particles, they are one.
Smallest unit of a compound is a molecule.
If it is a molecular compound, the smallest unit is called a molecule. If it is an ionic compound, the smallest unit is called a formula unit.
The representative unit of a covalent compound is a molecule. In covalent compounds, atoms share electrons to form covalent bonds, creating discrete units known as molecules. These molecules represent the smallest unit of a covalent compound that retains the properties of that compound.
This is the chemical formula (empirical formula) or the formula unit of this compound.
Ionic compounds do not contain molecules. The representative particle of an ionic compound is called a formula unit. Molecules are the representative particles of a covalent compound.
