Is it true three or more different atoms are necessary to call a compound a molecule

When a molecule is made up of two or more atoms of different elements, it is called a chemical compound. Thus, a unit of water, or H2O, is a compound, as is a single molecule of the gas methane, or CH4.

Hope this helps!
