Molecule: >1 atom

Explanation:

Molecules are always more than one atom, and the atoms are chemically bonded together. Molecules can be elements- a set of the same atom (e.g. carbon), or a compound- this consists of different types of atoms chemically bonded together (e.g. water/H2O, containing hydrogen and oxygen).
