Best Answer

A molecule is two or more atoms bonded together.

A compound is two or more different atoms bonded together therefore almost all compounds are molecular. A covalent compound is, therefore, usually a molecule with a specific type of bond in which the two (or more) atoms share electrons from their outer shells.

Some covalent compounds don't form molecules, however, such as Silicon Dioxide which forms a covalent network.
