Can you see a molecule with the naked eye?

Yes and no. A glass of water consists of thousands of molecules of water (H20). You can see them in groups but not individually unless you had a REALLY powerful microscope.

No. A molecule cannot be seen under a microscope. Especially considering that molecules are actually smaller than the wavelengths of visible light.

Usually not. Classroom microscopes are typically not strong enough to view molecules. You would usually be able to view cells with one though.

I think i can see some type of molecules, atoms with my naked eye. I think it is possible to see molecules if you have good eyes.
