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.
Elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals are called metalloids. They can be shiny or dull and their shape is easily changed. Electricity and heat can travel through metalloids but not as easily as they travel through metals.Last modified April 18, 2003 by Lisa Gardiner.onmetals, on the right side of the periodic table, are very different from metals. Their surface is dull and they don t conduct heat and electricity. As compared to metals, they have low density and will melt at low temperatures. The shape of nonmetals cannot be changed easily because they are brittle and will break.
