An atom is the smallest unit of matter that can't be divided, a molecule is a combination of atoms. A molecule is formed when several atoms of different elements combine. That's how we can get a molecule of water if we combine two atoms of Oxygen and one atom of Hydrogen.

3 elements common to all organic molecules?
All organic molecules are comprised of covalent bonds between hydrogen atoms and carbon atoms. There are many other elements that play a role in modifying the structure of organic molecules, such as oxygen, phosphorous, and nitrogen.
How are molecules different from atoms?
Atoms consist of electrons (negative charge), protons (positive charge), and neutrons (neutral charge), while molecules consist of atoms.
How are Atoms and Molecules and Cells similar?
Cells are made of molecules, molecules are made of atoms, and atoms are made of energy. :) Hope I helped!!
In biology which term includes the other four atoms molecules electrons elements and protons?
Molecules Atoms which are elements make up molecules. Protons and electrons make up atoms.
When are Molecules created?
When atoms become bonded through covalent, ionic, or hydrogen bonds they form molecules.
Who was the first person to distinguish molecules from atoms?
Amedeo Avogadro, an Italian, did in 1811.
What makes up matter in addition to atoms and molecules?
Lots of space between the atoms and molecules.
Distinguish between a molecule and compound?
A compound is made up of molecules.
What is the difference between a substance composed of a mixture of different atoms and a compound composed of molecules?
a mixture means there are no true bonds between the atoms. Molecules have either ionic or covalent bonds between the atoms.
What is the relation between atom and molecules and compounds?
Molecules are made up of atoms
Where is energy located in molecules?
In molecules, energy is stored in the bonds between the atoms.
Will the attraction between various combinations of atoms produce bonds which form molecules?
The attraction between various combinations of atoms do indeed produce bonds which form molecules. An example of this is water, as hydrogen and oxygen atoms form H2O molecules.
How does heating and cooling affect the speed of the molecules in a solids and the distance between them?
In solids, heat is the energy of vibrating molecules or atoms; the higher the temperature, the greater the vibration. And when molecules or atoms vibrate more, there will be more space between them.
What chemical energy is stored?
Bonds between atoms and molecules.
Which state of matter is stronger between atoms or molecules?
Solid.
Do molecules and atoms have anything in common?
Molecules are formed with bonds between either atoms or ions, which are just charged atoms(more or less electrons than protons). In English (not nerd): a molecule is made from atoms.
What molecules forms a polar covalent bond?
In these molecules the difference of the electronegativity between the two atoms is significant.
