Answer:

whether the molecule is formed from at least two atoms

Explanation:

A feature that distinguishes an elemental molecule and a compound molecule is whether the molecules are formed from at least two atoms.

An elemental molecule is a molecule that contains two or more of the same kind of elements.

A compound molecule contains two or more different kinds of molecules.

  • An example of elemental molecule is oxygen gas, O₂.
  • An example of a compound molecule is water H₂O.

A molecule is a unit of a compound that can represent such a compound.

Therefore, what distinguishes an elemental molecule from a compound molecule is whether a molecule forms from at least two atoms.
