Oxygen (O2) is a MOLECULE of two atoms of the element oxygen. It is found in the atmosphere.

Water(H2O) is a compound. It is a combination of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.

NB A compound is a molecule that contains atoms of two or more different elements.

So both Water and Oxygen are molecules.

However, only water, in this case, is a compound.
