Abstract

In this article, some aspects of the clumpy nature of molecular clouds are reviewed. In particular the observational evidence for small-scale structures both in low and high mass star forming regions will be discussed. I will review some examples of `clumpiness' such as: i) the molecular clumps ahead of HH objects and how the study of the physical and chemical nature of these clumps is important for the understanding of the clumpiness of the Interstellar Medium; and ii)hot cores and their use as a tool to study the early phases of massive star formation.
