Technically, not necessarily. But pretty much yes.
The strict definition of a molecule the smallest particle of a substance. If that substance is a pure elemental solid then its molecule is probably a single atom, so it's obviously not more complex than an atom. But most of the time when people say "molecule" they are referring to larger ones, which are made of two or more atoms bound together is some particular structure, which is certainly more complicated than a single atom.

What do moleclues and atoms have in common?
Molecules are formed with bonds between either atoms or ions, which are just charged atoms (more or less electrons than protons). (:
Why is nitrogen gas at STP less dense than Xe gas at STP?
atoms have a higher mass than molecules. Because both gases at STP have the same number of molecules per unit volume, the gas must be denser.
Is a atom smaller then a molecule?
Yes, since molecules are made up of atoms bonded together.
Why do molecules in water expand when frozen?
The water molecules are formed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. However, as the temperature drops the hydrogen atoms slow down and form very tight bonds, but without the presence of oxygen atoms. This creates a more open molecular network, which is why frozen water is less dense than when in liquid form.
What are atoms that are made of more than 1 called?
Multiple atoms bonded together are called molecules.
Do molecules and atoms have anything in common?
Molecules are formed with bonds between either atoms or ions, which are just charged atoms(more or less electrons than protons). In English (not nerd): a molecule is made from atoms.
Are atoms bigger than molecules?
No. Molecules are made of atoms.

What represents a more complex level of organization than the others a organelles b molecules c cells d atoms?
molecule
Is an atom more complex than a molecule?
An atom is and element. Atoms are the simplest particles of an element. A bar of pure gold is composed of gold (Au) atoms. In a sense then, the atoms that make up this bar of gold are simpler than the entire bar. However, the terms "atom" and "element" describe different levels of magnitude. An atom is a single particle of an element. An element is a pure substance composed of atoms, not compound molecules.
Is a molecule equivalent to a molecule?
Molecules are not always equivalent to molecules, as some molecules have more atoms than other molecules, and other molecules have different kinds of atoms than other molecules.
What is the difference between molecule and an atom?
All matter is made of of atoms. Atoms can be bonded together to make molecules. For example, The molecule H2O is made up of 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen. Atoms can be charged as anions or cations. In molecules there is more than 1 atom held together by a chemical bond. Molecules are neutral. Molecules may be elements or compounds. Atoms are always smaller than molecules. Molecules are always larger than atoms. Atoms are always lighter than molecule. Molecules are always heavier than atoms.
Why the energy of molecules is less than the combined energies of the individual atoms present in the molecule?
Atoms bond for the purpose of obtaining an easier to maintain, lower energy state.
What are smaller than cells but larger than atoms?
molecules
How are molecules different than ions or atoms?
Molecules have no net electric charge; ions do.
Are all atoms molecules?
No atoms are molecules! An atom is singular A molecule is more than 1 atom bonded together
What causes wood to not conduct electricity?
Conductors have a different molecular structure than wood and nonconductors do. For example, the atoms in copper allow electrons to "flow" through the protons and neutrons like a liquid. Wood, however, uses less complex molecules in its structure, such as carbon.
