Molecules are the combination of two or more atoms which may exist free in gaseous form or in solutions, the ionic compounds are not the molecular compounds because their one unit can not exists freely but as the crystal lattice.

All but H2, O2, F2, Br2, I2, Cl2, and N2. Those are diatomic elements, and when they are bonded together they are just referred to as the name of the element. (O2 is just called Oxygen instead of Dioxygen for example)
Same type of molecules taken together is called a compound
Same type of molecules taken together is called a compound
The total electric charge is always zero.
To see if biological compounds could form spontaneously on early Earth To see if simple molecules can combine spontaneously. To find out how biological molecules could have first formed How life can evolve from nonliving matter
No, it is one molecule.However some large organic molecules (i.e. polymers) are formed from small organic molecules (i.e. monomers) that bond together into long chains, forming one new large molecule. The small molecules no longer exist as individual molecules after bonding into the large molecule.
They are different compounds with different molecules:- the chemical formula of glucose is C6H12O6- the chemical formula of sucrose is C12H22O11
That chemical molecules and gases could have combined on the early Earth to form the more complex compounds found in living things.
