Depends. Molecules are bigger than atoms, because they are made of atoms, a molecule can also be a compound, but compounds are more or less made of more molecules, so yes, they are bigger, you should specify the meaning of the word compound. some molecules are bigger then small componds, and anything really can be a compound
