Molecule
A fluorine 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.
Its called a compound. A compound is made up of two or more different types of atoms chemically bonded together.

Molecule
When atoms of more than one element chemically bonded together, they form a molecule. In some contexts, the you might answer that they form a compound.
Molecules
Diatomic
If they are covalently bonded, it would be a molecule. If they are bonded by an ionic bond, they form an ionic compound.

A fluorine 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.
The fewest total number of atoms that can form a molecule is one. Examples include the noble gases, such as helium (He) and neon (Ne), that exist as single atoms and are not bonded to any other atoms.
Its called a compound. A compound is made up of two or more different types of atoms chemically bonded together.
