An element is considered atomic if it consists of individual atoms. A molecule, on the other hand, consists of two or more atoms chemically bonded together. If an element exists as individual atoms (like Helium), it is atomic; if it exists as molecules (like Oxygen as O2), it is molecular.

A molecule is a combination of two or more atoms e.g. 2 Hydrogen atoms & 1 oxygen atom = H20/ water. An atom is a single element. Atomic structure has nothing to do with it whatsoever.
