Carbon. The others form bonds with their like element. Oxygen forms double-bonds, Nitrogen triple bonds, and Fluorine thru to Bromine form single bonds. Carbon would need to form quadruple bonds in order to obtain a stable octet (i.e. 8 valence electrons), which is known to be impossible.

∙ 7y agoF, H, and I exist as diatomic molecules. They are F2, H2 and I2 gases. Ne (neon) is a monoatomic gas.

∙ 7y agoNeon exists as single atoms. As a noble gas it has eight electrons in its outermost energy level, so does not need to bond.

Is N an element or a compound?
Nitrogen naturally occurs as a diatomic molecule (N2). Nitrogen, by itself, is an element.
Is nitrogen a compound or atom?
an atomAnswer:In the atmosphere nitrogen is present as a diatomic molecule. Two atoms of nirogen (the element) are always joined together into one molecule.
Does nitrogen exist as a diatomic molecule?
Yes, this is essentially correct. We don't find chlorine in nature in an uncombined state, but when we make chlorine gas, it appears as the diatomic molecule Cl2.
Is fluorine a reactive or stable element?
fluorine stable fluorine diatomic is unstable
Atoms in a molecule of oxygen?
Oxygen is an element. The oxygen in our atmosphere typically combines with itself, as does the nitrogen, forming a diatomic molecule--O2. So the two atoms in a molecule of oxygen would both be oxygen atoms.
Is F2 liquid is element or molecule?
If you mean F2 (fluorine), it is a diatomic molecule of the element fluorine. It's the common form of pure fluorine, since the halogen elements are all diatomic molecules.
Is fluorine common or rare?
The element is common, however; this does not imply a particular molecule is common- such as diatomic fluorine.
What is a molecule formed of two identical atoms called?
A molecule made up of two atoms is called a diatomic molecule. A diatomic molecule can be composed of two of the same atoms, called a diatomic element. Hydrogen gas, H2, is an example of a diatomic element. A diatomic molecule can also be a compound composed of two atoms of different elements, such as carbon monoxide, CO.
Is N an element or a compound?

What element forms a diatomic molecule and is a major constituent of air?
nitrogen
Which group 15 element serves as a diatomic molecule at preassure?
nitrogen
Is nitogren a atomic or molecular element?
Nitrogen has a diatomic molecule (N2).
Element that forms a diatomic molecule and is a major constituent to the atmosphere?
Nitrogen
Is nitrogen a compound or atom?
an atomAnswer:In the atmosphere nitrogen is present as a diatomic molecule. Two atoms of nirogen (the element) are always joined together into one molecule.
Is F an example of a molecule?
Fluorine is an element, the symbol F would indicate its atomic form not a molecule, the symbol F2 would indicate its diatomic molecular form. Fluorine gas is the F2 diatomic molecular form not F.
Which group 15 element exists as a diatomic molecule at room temperature and pressure?
Nitrogen
What element is found as a diatomic molecule?
There are actually seven elements that fit that description - hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine.
