Yes. Eight elements exist as diatomic molecules. They are hydrogen (H2), oxygen (O2), nitrogen (N2), fluorine (F2), bromine (Br2), chlorine (Cl2), iodine (I2), and astatine (At2). Molecules that are compounds contain two or more elements. Examples include water, H2O, carbon dioxide, CO2, and glucose, C6H12O6.
