Molecule is the general term used to describe any atoms that are connected by chemical bonds. Every combination of atoms is a molecule. A compound is a molecule made of atoms from different elements.
Well, if a molecule is considered to be a discrete small unit made up of atoms joined together, then NaCl, and any other ionic solid is not really a molecule. In NaCl we have a repetitive crystal structure in which each Na+ ion is surrounded by Cl- ions, and vice-versa, for as far as the crystal extends. There really isn't such a thing as an NaCl molecule.

Draw an orbital overlap diagram to represent the bonding in ammonia, NH3.
Svetlanka [38]
NH3 is a molecule with a nitrogen atom in the middle surrounded by 3 hydrogen atoms bonded covalently. Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons so, it will form sigma bonds (sp3 hybrid orbitals) with each of the hydrogen atom. The remaining lone pair electrons will be situated above the atom. You ca look at this image I've pulled from Google.

roteins found in humans are polymers that consist of different combinations of 20 amino acids. Proline, one of the 20 amino acid
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

125 carbon atoms are from proline are present in the protein.

Explanation:

Molecular formula of proline = C_5H_9NO_2

Number of carbon atoms =  5

If a human protein has 25 proline monomers.

Number of proline molecules = 25

Number of carbon atoms in 25 molecules of proline :

5\times 25 = 125

125 carbon atoms are from proline are present in the protein.
