Can an element be a molecule?

Not quite, they are different catagories.

Explanation:

A molecule is two or more atoms connected to each other. An element is an atom with a name. Think of water, a single water molecule is called H2O because it has two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Hydrogen and oxygen are both elements. Another way to see it is like, there are many kinds of animals(atoms). A specific animal would be a cat or a bird or something(the elements).

TLDR: An element can be part of a molecule, but is not one on its own.

Some elements exist naturally as molecules. For example, hydrogen and oxygen exist as two-atom molecules. Other elements also exist naturally as diatomic molecules—a molecule with only two atoms
