Answer:

A compound is always a molecule, but a molecule is not always a compound

This is because a molecule is made up of multiple atoms, but they can be made of multiple of only one type of atom (ex
O_(2))

This differs from a compound which is made up of multiple different types of atoms (ex
NaCl or
H_(2) O)
