An atom is the basic unit of matter . It is virtually the smallest thing that exists and has the properties of an element . The size of an element can't really be measured . However , any amount of an element that consists of more than one atom would , of course , be larger than an atom .

By definition , a molecule consists of 2 or more atoms , so no , an atom is not bigger than a molecule . (of course , this is taking in the average size of an atom . Atoms of extremely heavy elements , such as Uranium , would be comparable to the size of a molecule of hydrogen (h2) which is a very small molecule .

Which is smaller an element or a 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.


Is a molecule of oxygen larger than a molecule of hydrogen?

Yes, a molecule of oxygen (O2) is larger than a molecule of hydrogen (H2) because an oxygen atom has a larger atomic radius and can form stronger bonds with other atoms, resulting in a larger molecule size.
