Question
does the model show an atom, molecule, or compound? * phosphoric acid h₃po₄ atom molecule or compound
Brief Explanations
An atom is a single particle of an element. A molecule is made up of two or more atoms bonded together. A compound is a type of molecule that contains at least two different elements. Phosphoric acid (\(H_3PO_4\)) has hydrogen (\(H\)), phosphorus (\(P\)), and oxygen (\(O\)) atoms bonded together, so it is not an atom. Since it has different elements, it is a compound (and also a molecule as compounds are a type of molecule).
