Molecules.
However it is surprising when you consider a truly heavy element how many lighter ones are needed to "win" the argument. Consider nobelium-259 it has 259 protons and neutrons and 102 electrons.
Whereas heptane C7H16 has 100 protons and neutrons and 58 electrons so quite a way short! It takes an alkane of around C21H44 to get close.
an atom is a molecule you dingbat
A molecule contains more than one atom.
There are so many particles in a glucose molecule! The smallest atom is the hydrogen atom, but the hydrogen atom is made out of protons, neutrons, and electrons, the smallest being electrons. Who knows what electrons are made out of?
Argon (Ar) is an atom not a molecule. An atom is singular whereas a molecule is a group of two or more atoms.
the smallest atom is hydrogen, the smallest molecule would be the naturally occurring diatomic hydrogen.

A molecule contains more than one atom.
Yes. A molecule is what we call two or several atoms together.
Ionization of an atom is a simple process of which you convert an atom or molecule into an ion by adding or removing charged particles such as electrons or ions.
A molecule is composed of one or more atoms that are properly bonded to each other. If a molecule contains more than one atom, each atom is then a partial molecule as opposed to a whole molecule. Therein lies the difference.
is the smallest particle of an element that has the properties of that element
Atoms are made up of tiny particles called electrons. The nucleus of an atom contains a mix of positively charged protons and neutrual neutrons. An atom is classified by the number of protions compared to the number of electrons. If it is neutral it is classified as an ion, if it has more protons the atom is positively charged, and if it has more electrons than the atom is negatively charged. If a group of atoms are bound together they become a molecule.
The atom with the greater attraction for shared electrons in the molecule is the more electronegative atom.

In chemistry, particles with an overall electric charge are called ions.
Argon (Ar) is an atom not a molecule. An atom is singular whereas a molecule is a group of two or more atoms.
Electrons are tiny particles with a negative electric charge that are part of an atom. Two or more atoms combined together form a molecule.
