I need help with my chem homework

atoms are the most basic units of any "pure"thing(elements).
molecules are compound atoms, that is any combination of atoms to make something more complex.
for example , water is a compound of hydrogen and oxygen which means that water is formed by chemically combining hydrogen(a gas)with oxygen(another gas).
another example would be sand, otherwise known as silicon dioxide, which is formed of silica(Si) and 2 atoms of oxygen(O).
and in cases where in a "pure" element there are multiple forms(allotropes) like hydrogen they are also known as molecules
like deuterium is a molecule of hydrogen formed by combining 2 atoms of hydrogen.
God bless,

The interesting thing about your question, is that we can use electrons - like right now! Were they not contiguous entities in Real Time, then we could not have lights on to help us read our computer screens. The sadness about String Thought is that its inferior modeling permits blather to invade our model of the atom. Gravity and its harmonics skew the results of all our experimentation to the point where we can demonstrate electrons as a 'cloud'. Bunk, else chemistry and a few other well-established functions would be random, not locked-in. Keep your model of the Sun and Planets in atoms, and understand that the stage upon which we view atoms is vibrating at a frequency so high that the reference has shifted for the smallest Significant Moment during any survey - that the universe has moved, and far faster than can the atom keep up. In that environment, you get blurring and randomness for instruments and models as slow as are ours.
