In science, a molecule is a group of atoms in a definite arrangement held together by chemical bonds.
So there can't be any molecules in the periodic table since the periodic table only contains atoms.

Diatomic molecules are O2, N2, etc.
"The diatomic elements are hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and the halogens: fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. Astatine is so rare in nature (its most stable isotope has a half-life of only 8.1 hours) that it is usually not considered. Many metals are also diatomic when in their gaseous states."
"Oxygen can also exist as the triatomic molecule ozone (O3), for example in the ozone layer."
To the gentle souls who gave my answer a thumbs down, how about doing a wee bit of research? An element is any single atom. A molecule is any combination of atoms. Two or more atomic nuclei bound together form a molecule. Examples of molecules: Salt (NaCl), Water (H2O), Carbon Monoxide (CO), and atmospheric oxygen (O2). Molecules are not found on the periodic table of the elements, but those elements that readily combine with themselves can be thought of as periodic molecules.

There are no molecules. Just atoms. Do a search - I'm not going to list over 100 elements.

the periodic table is simply a tool that tells you how to bond atoms to make molecules. there are elements on the table, but no molecules.
here's a list of the elements, though.
