Answer 1: Because a molecule is made up of atoms.
Correct answer: it's a trick or meaningless question. Molecules are not always larger or heavier than atoms. For example, a single uranium atom is larger and heavier than a hydrogen molecule (H2) or even a water molecule (H2O).

What is bigger than life but smaller than a molecule?
The Universe. an atom
Which is bigger atom electron molecule or cell?
An electron is a part of a atom, and an atom is part of a molecule, molecules make up a cell. So a cell is biggest.
Is an atom smaller than a molecule?
An atom is the basic unit of matter . It is virtually the smallest thing that exists and has the properties of an element . The size of an element can't really be measured . However , any amount of an element that consists of more than one atom would , of course , be larger than an atom . By definition , a molecule consists of 2 or more atoms , so no , an atom is not bigger than a molecule . (of course , this is taking in the average size of an atom . Atoms of extremely heavy elements , such as Uranium , would be comparable to the size of a molecule of hydrogen (h2) which is a very small molecule .
Is an atom bigger then a molecule?
No atoms are very microscopic.
Why in a water molecule is the oxygen atom bigger then the nitrogen atom?
First of all, there is no nitrogen in a water molecule. A water molecule consists of one oxygen atom combined with two hydrogen atoms. Also known as H2O. However, it is also true that an oxygen atom is slightly bigger than a nitrogen atom. Oxygen has one more proton, and one more electron than nitrogen does. Neutron quantities vary, since there is more than one isotope of both oxygen and nitrogen.
How is a molecule diffent from a atom?
A molecule contains more than one atom.
Is the lithium atom bigger than the Cesium atom?
Not at all; the cesium atom is far bigger than the lithium atom.
What is bigger a water molecule or carbon atom?
Glucose molecules are bigger than water molecules.
Is a molecule bigger then a atom?
Yes, because molecules are made of atoms.
Is a element smaller than an molecule?
The atom of an element is smaller than a molecule.
Is insulin or glucose bigger?
An insulin molecule is much bigger than a glucose molecule.
Which particle is smaller a proton molecule atom or nucleus?
A proton is smaller than a nucleus, which is smaller than an atom, which is again smaller than a molecule.
