Some chemical bonds are considered molecules while others are considered compounds.
1 answer:
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. All compounds are molecules, but not all molecules are compounds.
One example of a molecule is (chlorine).
Examples of a compound is NaCl (sodium chloride) or (water)

Answer:
+2
Explanation:
If a compound existed, we would identify the oxidation state of sulfur using the following logic:
- oxygen is more electronegative than sulfur, so it's more electron-withdrawing and it should have a negative oxidation state producing a positive oxidation state for sulfur;
- oxygen typically has an oxidation state of -2;
- we may then apply the fact that SO is expected to be a molecule with a net charge of 0;
- if the net charge is 0 and the oxidation state of oxygen is -2, we may set the oxidation state of S to x;
- write the equation for the net charge of 0 by adding all individual charges of the two atoms:
;
- hence, x = 2.
That said, in this hypothetical compound S would have an oxidation state of +2.
