molecule - (pronounced) (MAH-leh-kyool) The smallest particle of a substance that possesses all the physical and chemical properties of that substance. Molecules are made up of one or more atoms. When they contain more than one atom, the atoms can be the same (an oxygen molecule has two oxygen atoms) or different (a water molecule has two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom).
