Solution

Every combination of atoms is a molecule. A compound is a molecule made of atoms from different elements. All compounds are molecules, but not all molecules are compounds.

Now as you asked H subscript 2 O is molecule or compound.
so the answer is that H subscript 2 O is both molecule and compound.
molecule because water forms molecular bonds and compond because it is made from more than one kind of element(hydrogen and oxygen).
