As per question:
- An elements may be individual atoms or they may form molecules.
For example:
[tex]Mn[/tex] is an element.
[tex]O_3[/tex] is molecule of element.
- Compounds can only have molecule form.
For example:
[tex]KOH[/tex] is molecule of compound.
[tex]H_2S[/tex] is molecule of compound.
Hence, the compounds can only have molecule form.
