An atom is the smallest particle of a chemical element that can exist.


A molecule is the smallest particle of an element or of a compound which can exist freely under ordinary conditions, and shows all the properties of that substance. A molecule may contain one, two, three or more atoms of the same or different kinds. Molecules are characterized by the number of atoms present in it.
