Why is that all compounds are molecules, but not all molecules are compounds.
Molecules can contain atoms from the same element or atoms from different elements.
Compounds must contain atoms from two or more different elements.
Compounds are molecules, not all molecules are compounds
When a small amount of hydrochloric acid (HCl) is added to a solution of Na2HPO4, the pH of the solution does not change markedly.
