Which of the following best describes the key difference between a compound and a molecule?
Which of the following best describes the key difference between a compound and a molecule?
- A molecule is the simplest representation of a compound that retains its chemical properties; a compound is a general term for multiple elements bonded. (correct)
- A compound is a substance containing only one type of atom, while a molecule contains multiple elements.
- A compound is formed through the sharing of electrons, while a molecule is formed through the transfer of electrons.
- A molecule exists only in the gaseous state, and a compound can exist in solid, liquid, or gaseous states.
In a chemical reaction, what is the relationship between reactants and products?
In a chemical reaction, what is the relationship between reactants and products?
- Reactants and products are physical states of matter undergoing phase change in a closed system.
- Reactants are always in a gaseous state, while products are in a solid state.
- Reactants and products have the same number of atoms and molecules.
- Reactants transform into products through the rearrangement of atoms and molecules. (correct)
