Answer 2

Difference between atoms and molecules.

Explanation:

Atom:

• It is the smallest unit of any substance and this cannot be further broken into anything.
• An atom consists of a proton, electron and neutron.

• The number of these sub-atomic particles decide the kind of atom it will make its place in the periodic table.
• In short, atom is the simplest unit of matter.

Molecule:

• A molecule is a group of two or numerous atoms. The Molecule has two kinds, which are element and compound.

• An element is formed when the same kind of atom is grouped together and form a molecule, such as an oxygen molecule, nitrogen molecule.
• A compound is formed when two or more different kinds of atoms are grouped together, such as a carbon-dioxide molecule, water molecule.
