Air is a mixture of mostly O_2 and N_2 with assorted other stuff

so it doesn't make sense to talk about a "molecule of air" without specifying which component of air you are talking about. In any case, I'm not sure why the air becomes trapped, but the surface tension explanation seems reasonable enough.
