The statement "The smallest unit of a compound is called a molecule" is **(A) True**.
Here's why:
- **Molecule:** A molecule is indeed the smallest unit of a compound that retains its chemical properties. It is made up of two or more atoms bonded together.
- **Compound:** A compound is a substance made up of two or more different elements that are chemically bonded together. In a compound, the smallest unit that retains the chemical properties of that compound is a molecule.
For example, in water (H₂O), the smallest unit of water that retains its properties is a water molecule, which consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
So, the smallest unit of a compound is accurately referred to as a molecule.
