Molecules of Compounds
The molecule of a compound contains two (or more) different types of atoms chemically combined together.For example, hydrogen chloride is a compound. The molecule of hydrogen chloride (HC1) contains two different types of atoms : hydrogen atom (H) and chlorine atom (Cl) [see Figure 29(a)], Water is a compound.A molecule of water () is made up of two different types of atoms : hydrogen atoms (H) and oxygen atom (O) [see Figure 29(b)]. Carbon dioxide () is also a compound whose molecule consists of two different types of atoms : carbon atom (C) and oxygen atoms (O) [see Figure 29(c)]. Some more examples of the molecules of compounds are : sulphur dioxide (), methane () and ammonia ().Please note that a compound which consists of molecules is called a molecular compound.Hydrogen chloride, water, carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide, methane and ammonia,are all molecular compounds (which consist of molecules and not ions). We will now discuss chemical formulae.
