Molecules are two or more atoms electronically combined.

Oxygen atom is just 'O'

However, oxygen does not exist as a single atom in the air, but as the molecule 'O2'. ( O=O), and in the high/upper atmosphere as ozone ( O3 ), where the three atoms are combined in a triangular formation.

NB THe Noble(Inert) gases DO Exist as single atoms (Monatomic), and NOT as molecules. e.g. Helium(He) , Neon (Ne) etc.,
