Atoms bond with each other to form a molecule. When a molecule has an overall charge, they can act as a single unit to bond with another ion. Examples are sodium 'carbonate' and magnesium 'sulfate'.
i believe the answer is molecule (:
Additional answer
Correct. It's a molecule
A group of atoms that are bonded together and act as a single unit is a molecule.
A polyatomic ion.
polyatomic
You think to a molecule.
You think probable to an ion.
Group 14
molecule
A group of more than one atom joined together that acts like a single particleis called a molecule if the atoms are joined by chemical bonds.
a molecule
Atoms are just a single atom, obviously. Molecules are at least two atoms joined chemically, as opposed to a compound, which is at least two different elements joined together. For example, a single atom of Oxygen would be O. An oxygen molecule would be O2, O3, etc. A compound would be Oxygen and another element, such as Hydrogen, combined to make H2O (water, two Hydrogen, one Oxygen) or H3O (hydrogen peroxide, 3 oxygen, one hydrogen). This means that water is both a molecule (two or more atoms joined together) AND a compound (two or more atoms of different elements combined together). All compounds are molecules, but not all molecules are compounds.
If I undersstand your question correctly, a group of atoms that is joined by a covalent bond, and is neutral would be called a non-polar molecule.
The only group of neutral elements is the noble gases. They are in group 0. They are electronically stable elements that do not tend to react. They exist as single molecules.

A molecule.
Such a group of atoms is called a molecule.
Such a group is often called a "radical".
a group of the same attoms create an element and a group composed of different atoms forms a compound
molecules
a molecule
Elements are those substances which have same constituent particle altogether. Molecules are a group of atoms joined together . Atoms of elements join together to form a molecule.
Two or more atoms joined together form a molecule. You can't say compound because you do not specify that the atoms are of different elements. You can have a molecule of oxygen because two or three atoms of oxygen can couple together by themselves, but it is not a compound, it is a molecule of oxygen.
a group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction.
