Explanation:

Difference between the two:

Atoms are defined as the smallest particle of a chemical element that exists. They are made up of protons, electrons and neutrons. Elements have similar kind of atoms present in them while compounds have different type of elements present in them.

Molecules are formed when two or more atoms of similar or different kinds bond together. For Example: $H_2O,N_2$ etc...

Similarity between the two:

A pure substance is defined as the substance which is formed by same or different type of atoms which are chemically combined in a fixed ratio by mass. Atoms and molecules are considered as pure substances.

Why does water have a much higher boiling point than methane even though water (H20) and methane (CH4) molecules are approximate

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Water has a higher boiling point because the hydrogen bonds that form water molecules are stronger than the Van der Waals interactions among methane molecules, therefor more energy must be provided in order to break the hydrogen bonds and allow the water molecules to escape the liquid state.
