A molecule came into being when two or more atoms interact chemically and combine together. Compound is also a molecule but it contains atom of minimum two or more elements. Generally all compounds can be considered as molecules but are molecules are not compound. A molecule can be most appropriately defined as a group of atoms tied in a definite arrangement.
While atoms in non-metals are bonded. Heat energy is passed along by vibartions as â¦ the bonds between the non-metals atoms are shaken. Conduction in metals is faster than in non-metals. Making metals good conductors and making non-metals poor conductors.
The metals are to the left of the line (except for hydrogen, which is a nonmetal), the nonmetals are to the right of the line, and the elements immediately adjacent to the line are the metalloids. The elements can be classified as metals, nonmetals, or metalloids. Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity, and are malleable (they can be hammered into sheets) and ductile (they can be drawn into wire).
