Molecule, a group of two or more atoms that form the smallest identifiable unit into which a pure substance can be divided and still retain the composition and chemical properties of that substance.
While Atoms are single neutral particles,
Molecules are neutral particles made of two or more atoms bonded together.
Exaplmes for molecules
H2O (water)
N2 (nitrogen)
O3 (ozone)
CaO (calcium oxide)
C6H12O6 (glucose, a type of sugar)
NaCl (table salt
And examples for atoms
Neon (Ne)
Hydrogen (H)
Argon (Ar)
Iron (Fe)
Calcium (Ca)
Deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen that has one proton and one neutron.
Plutonium (Pu)
F-, a fluorine anion.
Answer:
Monatomic molecule
Explanation:
Each helium atom has 2 electrons, which is already the maximum no. of electrons that can fit in the first electron shell. When the outermost electron shell is full (2 for the first layer, 8 for others), the atom is stable.
Helium atom itself is already stable, so it doesn't need to combine with another helium atom to form a molecule, hence we call it monatomic.

Answer:
D. Atoms are like solid balls
Explanation:
John Dalton proposed that all matter is composed of very small things which he called atoms. This was not a completely new concept as the ancient Greeks (notably Democritus) had proposed that all matter is composed of small, indivisible (cannot be divided) objects. When Dalton proposed his model electrons and the nucleus were unknown.
