a Virus is smaller than a bacteria. Viruses are so small that they are measured in nanometers. One nanometer is one billionth of a meter. The smallest viruses are about 20 nanometers in diameter, while the largest viruses are more than 200 nanometers in diameter. The average virus is quite small when compared with even the smallest cells-- those of bacteria

Atoms are:A molecule is atoma put together ex. a water molecule is H2O 2 hydrogen atoms 1 oxygen
molecules are made of atoms therefore molecules are almost always larger than atoms, very few exceptions occur, argon is a noble gas and as a atom is larger than H2. Other than noble gasess molecules are larger than atoms. atoms are smaller.
The atom is the smallest unit of matter, and a molecule is the combination of at least two atoms held by chemical bonds. Thus we can say that an atom is smaller than a molecule; however, atoms come in a wide range of sizes and masses, with hydrogen being the lightest and ununoctium being the heaviest found so far. Because of that, a molecule formed from two atoms from the smallest element (hydrogen) will actually be smaller (in both weight and size) than a single atom of a much larger element, for example cesium.
Molecules are 2 or more atoms bonded together so they are larger than most atoms

Atom is clearly much more smaller than bacteria.
