A molecule is the smallest unit of a substance that retains its chemical properties, made up of atoms bonded together—as shown in microscope images of molecules like PTCDA (with five carbon rings) and pentacene (with five linked carbon rings). Molecules matter because they are the basic building blocks of all matter around us, determining the properties and behavior of the materials and substances we interact with every day.

Moleküle [moleˈkyːl] (älter auch: Molekel [moˈleːkəl]; von lateinisch molecula ‚kleine Masse‘) sind „im weiten Sinn“ zwei- oder mehratomige Teilchen, die durch chemische Bindungen zusammengehalten werden und wenigstens so lange stabil sind, dass sie z. B. spektroskopisch beobachtet werden können. Ein Molekül kann dabei aus mehreren gleichen oder aus verschiedenen Atomen bestehen. Es kann sich um neutrale Teilchen, aber auch um Radikale, Ionen oder auch ionische Addukte handeln. So sind z. B. viele Typen von interstellaren Molekülen unter irdischen Bedingungen nicht stabil. IUPAC nennt solche Teilchen „molekulare Gebilde“ (molecular entity).
