Depends on the molecule. The easiest way to work it out is to get the chemical formula and add it up from there. Glucose for example is C6H12O6 - that's 3 elements (carbon, hydrogen and oxygen) and 24 atoms (6 + 12 + 6). If you're unsure about the elements, count how many capital letters there are in the formula.

Proteins are basically made from amino acids, which are made from carbon nitrogen hydrogen and oxygen.
Let's say that one atom weights somewhere about 6 grams/mole.
so large protein molecule should have somewhat around 500 000 atoms.

What is a molecule consisting of a large number of atoms?
No. Molecules are made up of atoms. Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of matter, and can come together to form molecules such as H20 (water). Atoms consist of subatomic particles known as protons, electrons, and neutrons.
What are macro molecules?
A molecule containing a very large number of atoms.
What are the 3 atoms that make a molecule?
Water is made up of two different elements and three atoms their are two atoms of hydrogen and their is one atom of oxygen, which forms (makes) water or H2OH2 + O --> H2O
Is graphite a simple molecule?
Graphite is not a simple molecule. This substance consists of indefinitely large sheets of carbon atoms held together by weak interactions
Which molecule has the most atoms?
Many molecules such as organic molecules have significantly large amounts of atoms such as sugar/sucrose (C12H22O11). Others have more Many molecules such as organic molecules have significantly large amounts of atoms such as sugar/sucrose (C12H22O11). There other molecules such as DNA and polymers that have no size limit and there is no maximum size of a molecule.
What is a macro molecules?
A molecule containing a very large number of atoms.
How many elements are there in a given molocule?
There are no theoretical limits. The number can be as small as one or very large. Likewise the number of atoms in a molecule can be extremely large.
What is macro-molecules?
A molecule containing a very large number of atoms.
What is the total number of atoms in a molecule?
Ferric oxide is not a covalent compound, it forms a large ionic lattice.
How do you uses macromolecule in a sentence?
A macromolecule is just a molecule with a large number of atoms. A protein is an example of a macromolecule.
Is diamond a atom or a molecule?
Diamond is made up of pure carbon. Here one carbon atom is attached to other four carbon atoms. So diamond should be called as molecule. Should be! If it is called as molecule, then it will be too large a molecule. It will be interesting to count the number of atoms in a big diamond. It will not be possible for the human brain to understand such a very high number.
What is a collection of atoms called?
A large collection of neutral atoms with the same atomic number is a sample of an element. Elements include include lithium, hydrogen, neon, and oxygen. Note that different isotopes of elements exist; these are atoms with the same atomic number but having a different number of neutrons.
What evidence do these four large molecule contain?
it contains sex
What is a molecule consisting of a large number of atoms?

What is the term for a very large molecule composed of hundreds or thousands of atoms?
macromolecules
Which biological molecule contains a large amount of the element nitrogen?
Proteins
A very large organic molecule usually a polymer composed of hundreds or thousands of atoms?
macromolecule
