"No It isn't." I believe is the quote.

In the circles I run, usually molecules are referred to when talking
about chemical interaction, and atoms when talking about sub-atomic
interactions (like transitions between hyperfine states :-).  However,
other circles likley have different criteria to determine what terms
to use.  However, this argument has become less interesting than the
HP part number nuance argument that has been declared persona
non-grata.  Maybe people here can do the math... :-)
