It is mainly referred to as diatomic molecules (cf. 'Examples below).

Added:

Diatomic elements are a special group of molecules consisting of 2 identical atoms, so of ONE element that is.

(The halogens and non-noble gases are most likely found in the diatomic state)

Examples:

H2, O2, I2 and Cl2 are diatomic elements (made of one element),

however:

HCl, MgO and CO are diatomic molecules (not of one element!).

A diatomic element is a diatomic molecule, but the reverse is not always true.

CHLORINE (Cl2) is an example of of the former as well as the latter. But HYDROCHLORIC ACID (HCl) a diatomic molecule but not an example only.

Diatomic elements are a special group of molecules consisting of 2 identical atoms (2 of the same element). The 7 diatomic molecules are Hydrogen (H2), Nitrogen (N2), Oxygen (O2), Fluorine (F2), Chlorine (Cl2), Iodine (I2) and Bromine (Br2).

Is it possible to get an element that is also a compound?

Yes because some elements exist in their natural state as diatomic molecules, and are thus both elements and molecules.See the Related Questions for a complete list of the diatomic molecules.


Which of the following elements exists as diatomic molecules?

Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine, Oxygen, Nitrogen and Hydrogen all exist as diatomic molecules.


What are the elements that form diatomic molecules?

There are seven diatomic molecules: H2, O2, N2, F2, Cl2, Br2, and I2. For anyone who does not know what a diatomic molecule is, in science, "di" means "two", and "atomic" obviously means "atoms". So a diatomic molecule is a molecule with two atoms of the same element. These seven diatomic molecules are the only ones that when combined, do not react. These are known as stable compounds. Hope this helps.


How may elements does a diatomic molecules have?

we can identify the element having diatomic by finding out the valency of that element. i think it helps you.


Is a diatomic molecule of one element a compound?

No its not. there is Diatomic Molecule compounds which consisting of two different element like: CO, NO, MgO, HCl,and HF. however, diatomic molecules are elements that are found in pairs such as: O2,N2,F2,Cl2.
