Answer:
Atom:-
- The smallest part of a substance that cannot be broken down chemically. Each atom has a nucleus (center) made up of protons (positive particles) and neutrons (particles with no charge). Electrons (negative particles) move around the nucleus.
- Examples
- Oxygen (O)
- Hydrogen (H)
- Argon (Ar)
- Plutonium (Pu)
Molecule:-
- Molecule, a group of two or more atoms that form the smallest identifiable unit into which a pure substance can be divided and still retain the composition and chemical properties of that substance. ... Several methods of representing a molecule's structure.
- Examples
- Water (H2O)
- Sodium chloride (NaCl)
- Nitrogen (N2)
- Carbon dioxide (CO2)

ATOM :-
- The smallest part of a substance that cannot be broken down chemically.
- An atom is made up of three tiny kinds of particles called subatomic particles :- protons, neutrons, and electrons.
- The protons and the neutrons make up the center of the atom called the nucleus and the electrons fly around above the nucleus in a orbit.
- Examples :- Oxygen (O) & Hydrogen (H)
MOLECULE :-
- Molecule is the smallest particle in a chemical element or compound that has the chemical properties of that element or compound.
- Molecules are made up of atoms that are held together by chemical bonds.
- These bonds form as a result of the sharing or exchange of electrons among atoms.
- Examples :- Water (H2O) & Carbon dioxide (CO2)
