Range Hood: Junction box Needed?
I have removed an old range hood. There was no electrical box in the wall. The 12-2 plus ground wire came throught the drywall and wire nuts were used to connect the range hood wiring to the romex. should I install an electrical box in the wall, make all the electical connections inside that box, and then attach the rangehood to the cabinet? Advise.

As the others have mentioned, yes, if the appliance has its own wiring containment system, such as a built in junction box, which most hoods have.
