No, (in solid form at least) It is a metal and metals do not exist as diatomic molecules.
That is what I thought, but did some searching and found an article (see below) which talked about diatomic sodium gas. Sodium is present in some light bulbs, and it would make sense that it could exist as a gas in this environment.
What else can I help you with?
Which group 15 element exists as a diatomic molecule at room temperature and pressure?
Nitrogen exists as a diatomic molecule (N2) at room temperature and pressure.
Is bromine a covalent or a ionic compound?
Bromine (molecular Br2) is an covalent compound
Is chlorine monoatomic element?
No - chlorine exists as Cl2 and is thus diatomic.
Can a oxygen molecule stand alone?
No, an oxygen molecule (O2) is a diatomic molecule, meaning it consists of two oxygen atoms bonded together. In normal atmospheric conditions, oxygen exists as O2 molecules.
Is bromine a formula unit or molecule?
Bromine is a molecule. It exists naturally as a diatomic molecule composed of two bromine atoms bonded together.
Is sodium diatomic?
Sodium is not diatomic. Sodium is a metallic element that typically exists as individual atoms in its elemental form. Diatomic molecules, on the other hand, are molecules made up of two atoms of the same element bonded together. An example of a diatomic molecule is diatomic oxygen (O2).
Is sodium monoatomic or diatomic molecule?
Sodium does not exist as molecules in the room temperature and pressure because it is a metal. Although it forms diatomic 'molecules' in gaseous phase at very high temperatures.
Is chlorine an atom or a or a molecule?
It is a diatomic molecule, i.e. it exists as Cl2
Which group 15 element exists as a diatomic molecule at room temperature and pressure?
Nitrogen exists as a diatomic molecule (N2) at room temperature and pressure.
Does hydrogen exist as a diatomic?
Yes, hydrogen gas exists as a diatomic molecule with the formula H2.
Is sulfur a diatomic molecule?
Sulphur exists as a polyatomic molecule which is S8
Is chlorine atomic?
Elemental chlorine exists as a diatomic molecule.
What does N2 tells us?
It tells us that Nitrogen exists as a diatomic molecule.
Is bromine a covalent or a ionic compound?
Bromine (molecular Br2) is an covalent compound
Which atom exists as a diatomic molecule in nature?
Numerous elements exist as diatomic molecules in nature, including hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, and iodine.
Is chlorine monoatomic element?
No - chlorine exists as Cl2 and is thus diatomic.
Can a oxygen molecule stand alone?
No, an oxygen molecule (O2) is a diatomic molecule, meaning it consists of two oxygen atoms bonded together. In normal atmospheric conditions, oxygen exists as O2 molecules.
