A compound consists of atoms of two or more elements bonded to one another. However, iodine contains only one type of atom (all its atoms have the same number of protons). Thus, iodine is an element, not a compound. However, free Iodine only exists as a diatomic molecule at standard conditions. "I2" is how you write the formula of the Iodine molecule. It is definitely molecular but, depending on how you define "compound", it might not fit that definition because it is all the same type of atom.
