No, it's an atom. A molecule is two or more atoms bound together into a chemical unit.

A molecule is the simplest complete structural unit of an element or compound that can exist in nature.

An atom is the smallest component of any element having all the chemical properties of that specific element.
A molecule is bigger than an atom. Atoms make up molecules, humans, air, water, wood, everything you could think of. They are the basic building blocks of life. So no, a atom is not the same as a molecule.
