A molecule is a group of atoms joined together by covalent bonds.
If it is a molecule of element , atoms of the same element combine in a definite number . for example: a chlorine molecule Cl2, an oxygen molecule O2, etc.
If it is a molecule of a compound , atoms of two or more atoms of different elements combine in a definite ratio. for example: H2O, water, or C6H12O6, glucose.
It was formerly defined as the smallest particle of a substance that can exist independently, but in modern usage it is not applied to ionic compounds such as calcium oxide, which are giant assemblies of ions.
