Best Answer

Molecules are a combination of elements that form a pure substance that can be broken down further only by chemical means. Elements can't be broken down any further by chemical means (although nuclear reactions do break down chemicals). C6H12O6 (table sugar) is a molecule as it can be broken down further into the elements that make it up, carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O), while Fe (iron) can't be broken down any further into any other element.

Molecule of an element: O2, H2

Molecule of a compound: H2O, C2H5OH
