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.
Nonmetals are (usually) poor conductors of heat and electricity, and are not malleable or ductile; many of the elemental nonmetals are gases at room temperature, while others are liquids and others are solids. The metalloids are intermediate in their properties.
