• An atom is the basic unit of a chemical element. The symbol "Ne" represents neon, which is an element. A molecule is made up of two or more atoms bonded together (e.g., \(O_2\)). A compound is a substance formed when two or more different elements chemically bond (e.g., \(H_2O\)). Since "Ne" is just one type of element (neon), it is an atom.
