Ans 6. Molecules consist of different atoms or same atoms. e.g. molecule of hydrogen contains two atoms of hydrogen where as molecule of water contain two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen.
Compound is formed when two or more than two different atoms combine in fire propo  e.g. water –rtion carbondioxide, sugar etc.
Ans 7. The constituents of a compound can not be separated by physical methods. They can only be separate by chemical methods.
Ans 8. Sugar has close packing of constituent particles, have its own volume and shape therefore, it can be said to be solid whereas in water the constituent particles are not as closely packed as in solid. It has definite volume but not definite shape. Therefore it is a liquid.
