How are anhydrous compounds different from hydrates?

• Anhydrous compounds contain more water molecules than hydrates

• Anhydrous compounds and hydrates are the same

• Anhydrous compounds do not contain water molecules, unlike hydrates

• Anhydrous compounds use Greek letters to indicate the number of water molecules present
