An atom is the basic unit of matter . It is virtually the smallest thing that exists and has the properties of an element . The size of an element can't really be measured . However , any amount of an element that consists of more than one atom would , of course , be larger than an atom .
By definition , a molecule consists of 2 or more atoms , so no , an atom is not bigger than a molecule . (of course , this is taking in the average size of an atom . Atoms of extremely heavy elements , such as Uranium , would be comparable to the size of a molecule of hydrogen (h2) which is a very small molecule .

some cases. In others they are the mostly atoms put together.

∙ 14y agoyes a molecule is larger than an atom because a molecule is made of atoms
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoAn atom can,t be bigger than a molecule because atom is single while molecule is composed of two or up to two atoms

Is an atom as tiny as a bacterium?
An atom is millions of times smaller than a virus which is thousands of times smaller than a bacterium.
Which of the following level of organization is smaller than the cell?
Molecule
Is molecule of water more complex than a mitochondrion?
Even though we are comparing apples and oranges, I'll say a molecule of water is more complex than an atom of an element of the molecule, and less complex than the nucleus of a cell.
Is a cell smaller than a water molecule?
a cell is much bigger than a water molecule
Is a cell or a molecule smaller?
Molecules are smaller. Sub atomic particles are even smaller
Which particle is smaller a proton molecule atom or nucleus?
A proton is smaller than a nucleus, which is smaller than an atom, which is again smaller than a molecule.
Is a element smaller than an molecule?
The atom of an element is smaller than a molecule.
Is molecule larger or smaller than an atom?
Larger.
Is a molecule of oxygen larger than a molecule of hydrogen?
A single oxygen atom is smaller than a molecule.
What is bigger than life but smaller than a molecule?
The Universe. an atom
Which one smaller cell atom molecule?
An atom is smaller.
What will happen if you fall in a balack hole?
Either be ripped a part atom by atom you be compressed smaller than a molecule
Which is smaller an element or a molecule?
An atom of an element is usually smaller than a molecule of a compound. Molecules are made by bonding 2 or more atoms, of one or more elements. The molecule is the smallest particle of a compound.
How is a molecule diffent from a atom?
A molecule contains more than one atom.
Which is bigger atom electron molecule or cell?
An electron is a part of a atom, and an atom is part of a molecule, molecules make up a cell. So a cell is biggest.
