problem 3
a sample of acetone is composed of many separate, covalently bonded c₃h₆o groupings.

Explanation:

• A molecule is a group of atoms bonded together. Diamond is a covalent network solid, not composed of discrete molecules.
• Salt is an ionic compound (e.g., NaCl). Diamond is made of carbon atoms with covalent bonds, not ionic.
• A compound has two or more different elements. Diamond is made of only carbon (C), so it's an element, not a compound.
• A chemical is any substance that has a defined composition. Diamond (C) has a defined composition.
