"Each compound is composed of one type of molecule."

Explanation: a compound is a pure substance made of chemically bonded atoms in a fixed ratio, so the sample consists of identical chemical units (molecules or, for ionic compounds, formula units). Compounds can be broken down into simpler substances only by chemical (not physical) means.
