Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

A compound is a makeup of molecules.

• Every organism is made up of an atom.
• Combined atoms can create a molecule
• Combined molecules can create a compound.

When you make a compound, you are combining molecules. But when you make a molecule, you are not combining compounds, you are combining atoms.

Examples:

Atoms:

$\mathrm{H}$ (hydrogen) and $\mathrm{N}$ (nitrogen)

Molecules:

$\mathrm{H_2}$ and $\mathrm{N_2}$

Compounds:

$\mathrm{H_2SO_2}$ and $\mathrm{NaCL}$

Take a look at the Compounds and Molecules section. The $\mathrm{H_2}$ in the example of a molecule is in one of the examples of the compounds, but the $\mathrm{H_2SO_2}$ (THE WHOLE THING) is not in the molecule. This shows how every compound is a molecule, but every molecule is not a compound.
