Answer:
In a molecule, atoms are bonded together by single, double, or triple bonds. An atom has a nucleus surrounded by electrons. ... So another difference between atoms and molecules is that when similar atoms combine together in varying numbers, molecules of different properties can be formed.

Answer:
Difference between atom and molecule:
Atom
- Most fundamental and smallest part that can exist of an element.
- Example:Oxygen – O, Phosphorus – P, Sulphur – S,Hydrogen – H.
- Smallest particle with properties of an element.
- Constituent Elements:Protons, Electrons & Neutrons.
- Except for the noble elements, atoms of all elements showcase a certain level of reactivity.
Molecule
- Two or more atoms chemically bonded together.
- Example :Oxygen – O2,Phosphorus – P4,Sulphur – S8,Water – H2O.
- Combination of two or more atoms.
- Molecules are formed to attain stability.
- Constituent Elements:Two or more atoms of the same or different elements.
- Compared to a molecule, the level of reactivity is less as some of the valence points are filled by electrons of combined elements.
