A molecule

is two or more atoms held together by a covalent bond (like H2O). I don't think it matters if it's in a chemical reaction or not, a molecule is a molecule.

On a side note, atoms held together by ionic bonds (electrons are transferred from one atom to another) do not get classified with the title molecule, but are simply called ionic compounds (NaCl or table salt is an example).
