it can range from 2 to thousands.
A molecule is the smallest particle of a compound that contains all the properties of that compound. It can also be the smallest particle of an element if the individual atoms would be otherwise unstable on their own.
The smallest molecule is that of gaseous Hydrogen - just two hydrogen atoms joined together.
Another simple molecule is that of water - just two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom joined together.
A more complex molecule is alcohol (ethanol) - 2 carbon atoms (C), 1 oxygen atom (O) and 6 hydrogen atoms (H) all joined together in this pattern:
CH3- CH2-O-H
Some molecules, however, especially molecules of protein, have several thousand atoms in them and are far too complex to describe here.

What type of number after a chemical symbols tells how many atoms of that element are in single molecules?
That would be subscript.
How many atoms in one molecule of copper?
Elemental copper does not have molecules. Instead it has a "formula unit", which is a single atom.
How many atoms are halogen molecules made of?
There are 2 atoms which make up a single molecule of a halogen. Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine and Astatine all exist as X2 , or diatomic molecules.
How many atoms in HCLO2?
There are four atoms in one of these molecules.
How many carbon atoms are in a molecule of maltose if the molecules has 12 oxygen atoms?
12 carbon atoms exist in a molecule of maltose if the molecules have 12 oxygen atoms.

How many atoms will the scientist need to make a billion molecules of salt?
A single molecule of table salt contains two atoms: sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl). So a billion molecules of salt would require two billion atoms.
What molcules are in argon?
There are no argon molecules. It exists in the form of single atoms.
How many atoms has at least a single molecule?
Molecules are composed of atoms, not the other way around. The quantity of molecules needed for a component of a gas, liquid, or solid will depend upon the chemical composition and molecular structure.
How many atoms are in the molecules?
A molecule contain atoms.
How are atoms related to molecules in a sample of a compound?
atoms are made of molecules and that is why they are related !
How many atoms in HCLO2?
There are four atoms in one of these molecules.
What are the likes and differences of atoms and molecules?
atoms have one substance, when molecules have many. They bioth have ele torn
