Is it possible to have a compound that isn’t made up of molecules? Give an example.
Whether it is possible to have a compound that isn’t made up of molecule.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The universe is made up of matter and energy.Atom is the fundamental particle that forms matter. When more than one atomcombines together,a molecule is formed. Atoms in the molecule combine together by forming different bonds, such as, covalent bond, ionic bond, and so on.
In a compound, molecules or atoms of the different elements come together to form the compound. Atoms inside the compound join together by means of various types of bonds. Compound is formed by the different elements having different electrical, chemical, physical properties. After combining these elements or molecules of the elements,a compound is formed. The properties of compound are different from those elements from which it is made.
Conclusion:
It is not possible to form a compound which is not made up of molecules.
