Compound:
A chemical substance made up of two or more different elements combined in a fixed proportion(like H2O). 
Chemical Formula: A description that uses numbers and symbols of elements to describe the proportion of element sin a compound or reaction. 

Most of the substances you interact with are compounds. Not all, but most. Not all compounds are made of molecules(like salt).
Compounds have different properties from the components that make them up. 

Sodium is a highly reactive metal, as it explodes when coming into contact with water(it would even combust when coming into contact with the moisture from your skin). Chlorine is a toxic gas. But together, they make up salt, which is required for you to live.
