- Many elements: Yes. A molecule can contain atoms of different elements (e.g., H2O, CO2).
- A single element: Yes, if it contains two or more atoms of the same element bonded together (e.g., O2, S8).
- A single atom: No, by the usual chemical definition a molecule is two or more atoms bonded together. (Casual language sometimes calls a single noble gas atom “a molecule,” but strictly it’s just an atom.)
