Best Answer

Atoms are held together by intramolecular forces and molecules by intermolecular forces. To distinguish between the two think of molecules as being different countries and therefore them being international.

Or in computer terms where a closed network is a lan between different computers (atoms) is a intranet.

While the internet is these lans (groups of computers) molecules connected to each other.
