  MOLECULE, n.  The ultimate, indivisible unit of matter.  It is
  distinguished from the corpuscle, also the ultimate, indivisible unit
  of matter, by a closer resemblance to the atom, also the ultimate,
  indivisible unit of matter.  Three great scientific theories of the
  structure of the universe are the molecular, the corpuscular and the
  atomic.  A fourth affirms, with Haeckel, the condensation of
  precipitation of matter from ether -- whose existence is proved by the
  condensation of precipitation.  The present trend of scientific
  thought is toward the theory of ions.  The ion differs from the
  molecule, the corpuscle and the atom in that it is an ion.  A fifth
  theory is held by idiots, but it is doubtful if they know any more
  about the matter than the others.

        possesses the characteristic properties and qualities of

     3. (Chem.) A group of atoms so united and combined by
        chemical affinity that they form a complete, integrated
        whole, being the smallest portion of any particular
        compound that can exist in a free state; as, a molecule of
        water consists of two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen.
        Cf. Atom.
