Is an element the same thing as a molecule?

Answer 1

Yes. 7 non-metals: hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine, consist of a "diatomic molecule" of two identical atoms of that element. Sulfur, phosphorus, carbon, and few other elements do this too under certain conditions.

Answer 2

Yes. Many molecules are made up of atoms of different elements. For example a molecule of water is made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, hence the formula H2O. For more information, see 'Related links' below this box.

Answer 3

Yes. An oxygen molecule, for example, consists of two oxygen atoms.

Answer 4

Molecules are multiple elements bonding together.

Answer 5

yes because the atoms of two gases, hydrogen and oxygen, can combine together to form water, which is a liquid............

Answer 6

No, it is impossible for an element to be made from molecules, since molecules are made up by two or more atoms of elements.

Answer 7

An element is a substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances. Elements make up all matter singly or in combination with other elements.

Answer 8

Absolutely! Oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen routinely form single-element molecules. Carbon is found in nature in single-element molecules.

Answer 9

Yes; examples are: oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, halogens.
