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)

First, find the number of moles for each element. The molar mass for nitrogen is 14 g/mol and that of hydrogen is 1 g/mol.
1.40 g N / 14 g/mol = 0.1 mol N
0.20 g H / 1 g/mol = 0.2 mol H
Find the mole ratio. Divide both numbers with the much lower value. In this case, it is 0.1 mol N.
For N: 0.1 ÷ 0.1 = 1
For H: 0.2÷0.1 = 2
Thus, the empirical formula is .
