The Moon has an extremely thin atmosphere. It's about what you could get with a good roughing pump (forepump, rotary pump) in an Earth laboratory. However, it's not much like Earth's atmosphere at all, and in fact contains significant quantities of things like sodium (again, remembering that we're still talking about a pretty good vacuum here).

So, for practical purposes: no, there is no air on the Moon.
That's right, there's no air on the moon.
