उत्तर
Atom | Molecule | ||
1. | Atoms are described as the smallest particles of an element that do not exist freely in nature but participate directly in chemical reactions. | 1. | A molecule consists of bound atoms that exist freely in nature but do not directly participate in chemical combinations. |
2. | The symbol of an element represents its atom. For example, the symbol H represents a hydrogen atom. | 2. | The molecular formula represents any substance's molecule. For example, the oxygen molecule is represented as O2. |
3. | An atom is made up of subatomic particles i.e., electrons, protons, and neutrons. | 3. | Molecules are made up of two or more atoms, which either be from the same or different elements. |
