An element has no size - an atom is the particle of an element, and the molecule is the particle of a compound, or a collection of atoms. Atoms of an element would be smaller than molecules formed using that element or similar elements.
NOTE 1 : The atoms of one element can form molecules, such as oxygen (O2) and ozone (O3).
NOTE 2 : An atom of a heavier element can have greater mass than molecules of lighter elements.
Percentage composition= (mass of the element/mass of the molecule)*100 The fraction of the molecule's mass that comes from the element's mass
Percentage composition= (mass of the element/mass of the molecule)*100 The fraction of the molecule's mass that comes from the element's mass
copper is definite element
A molecule composed of two of the same element is called a diatomic molecule. Examples include oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N2), where two atoms of the same element bond together to form a stable molecule.
The second element in a covalent molecule is named using the stem of the element name and replacing the ending with "-ide." For example, in the molecule CO (carbon monoxide), the second element, oxygen, is named as "oxide."
The atom of an element is smaller than a molecule.
Elements can be broken down into smaller pieces: a compounds smallest particle is a molecule

Nitrogen is an element that is usually found alone as the N2 molecule. It is not a compound.
An atom is the basic unit of matter . It is virtually the smallest thing that exists and has the properties of an element . The size of an element can't really be measured . However , any amount of an element that consists of more than one atom would , of course , be larger than an atom . By definition , a molecule consists of 2 or more atoms , so no , an atom is not bigger than a molecule . (of course , this is taking in the average size of an atom . Atoms of extremely heavy elements , such as Uranium , would be comparable to the size of a molecule of hydrogen (h2) which is a very small molecule .
Gold is an element.
