Step-by-step explanation:

A molecule is a substance that contains atoms of either different or same elements.

For example,
Cl_(2) molecule and NaCl is also a molecule.

On the other hand, a compound always consists atoms of different elements. For example, NaCl is also a compound but
Cl_(2) is not a compound.

Whereas it is known that gases exist as diatomic molecules. For example,
Cl_(2),
N_(2),
Br_(2) are all gases.

Therefore, we can conclude that the particles of a gas are molecules.
