There are 2 atoms which make up a single molecule of a halogen.

Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine and Astatine all exist as X2 , or diatomic molecules.

How many atoms are halogen molecules made of?

Halogen molecules, such as chlorine (Cl2), bromine (Br2), and iodine (I2), are composed of two atoms each. This is because halogens belong to Group 17 of the periodic table, which means they have 7 valence electrons and need to gain one more electron to reach a stable octet configuration. Two atoms of a halogen molecule share electrons to achieve this stable configuration.


What are atoms that are made of more than 1 called?

Multiple atoms bonded together are called molecules.


What are the chemicals in a water molecule?

Water is made of two Hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Usually chemicals are made of molecules so (atoms < molecules < chemicals).


Is water made of atoms or molecules?

Waters is made of molecules. Each of those molecules contains 3 atoms.


Are water molecules made up individual water molecules?

no. atoms are the basic blocks. atoms fit together in certain ways to create molecules. Water is made up of two hydrogen molecules and one oxygen molecule.


Are molecules that are made up of different kind of atoms called compounds?

No it is not, and there is only one or two kinds of atoms but compounds is not one of them. :)


In two molecules of carbon dioxide 2CO2 there are how many atoms and what are they made of?

2 CO2 means there are two molecules of carbon dioxide. In one molecule of CO2 there is 1 carbon atom, and 2 oxygen atoms. So three atoms total. Therefore, in 2 molecules (each with 3 atoms) there are 6 atoms total. The molecules are made of atoms of carbon and oxygen. The atoms themselves are made of protons, electrons, and neutrons.


Do atoms and molecules mean the same thing?

Molecules are made out of atoms, without atoms there are no molecules. Charged molecules (ions) will form compounds as elements do, by combining in whole-number ratios with the ions of other elements and compounds.


If atoms of a halogen nonmetal gain one electron the atoms the have?

They become anions, with negative electrical charge.

How do you use the word molecules in a sentence?

there are 'molecules' in many everyday items. 'molecules' are studied in science.


Is Iron made from Atoms or molecules?

Either one. This is incorrect. The correct answer would be that it is made of separate atoms because iron is an element or a pure substance. So, therefore it didn't combine with anyother atoms to form a molecule and that being said it is strictly made up of separate atoms and not molecules. Definitely not either one.
