Atom. An atom is the smallest particle of an element that maintains its chemical identity throughout all chemical and physical changes. Atoms of one element are different from the other elements.
Molecule. A molecule is the smallest particle of an element or compound which can exist alone or freely under ordinary conditions and shows all the properties of that substance (element or compound). A molecule may be made up of one, two or more atoms.
