A molecule is the smallest particle of a substance that exists independently. Molecules of most elements are made up of only one of atom of that element. Oxygen, along with nitrogen, hydrogen, and chlorine are made up of two atoms. ... A compound is a substance formed when two or more elements are chemically joined.


(Hope that helps)
