Answer 2

ANSWER:

The best term that completes the analogy is Molecules.

Elements: Atoms :: Covalent Compounds: Molecules

EXPLANATION:

The reason for the formation of an element is atom. An Element is made entirely from one type of atom. Molecules are formed when two or more atoms are held by a bond known as Covalent bonds, thus making it a covalent compound. Covalent compounds are responsible for the sharing of valence electrons between two atoms, thus resulting a molecule.
