How are the oxygen molecules in a molecule of oxygen held together?

If you are mentioning about sticking two hydrogen atoms with one oxygen atom, then it's water. Other than that, oxygen and hydrogen are not together, unless they are water, hydrogen peroxide, or some other compound with an -OH group. In such compounds the hydrogen and oxygen are held together by covalent bonds, the sharing of electrons.

What kind of bonds do the atoms in molecules of oxygen gas and nitrogen gas held together?
Oxygen and Nitrogen are both nonmetals so they would form covalent bonds.
Molecules of hydrogen escape from earth but molecules of oxygen and nitrogen are held to the surface why?
Molecules of Hydrogen are less dense than oxygen and nitrogen so gravity keeps the oxygen and nitrogen inside the atmosphere.
Why is hydrogen chloride a gas at room temperature and pressure?
because it is held together by weak intermolecular forces
In the hydrogen chloride molecule the atoms are held together by a what type of bond?
polar covalent bonds
What structures is held together by hydrogen bonds?
Hydrogen bonds are strong intermolecular forces- weaker than covalent bonds that hold the molecules together. The diagram probaly shows molecules with otted lines from H atoms to an O or N aatom on an adjacent molecule.
What is a water molecule being held by?
Molecules are held together by Pepper and cheese.
What are the bonds that hold hydrogen and oxygen called?
In water and many other compounds hydrogen and oxygen are held by covalent bonds.Between water molecules and between other polar molecules hydrogen of one molecule and oxygen of a different molecule are held by hydrogen bonds.
Is oxygen composed of diatomic molecules under normal condiotions?
Yes, oxygen is a diatomic normally. It forms a diatomic molecule with the formula O2. It is held together with a double covalent bond.
What is a sentence for molecule?
Molecules have groups of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds.
Each water molecule is joined to?
Each water molecule forms multiple hydrogen bonds with neighboring water molecules. These bonds are transient and easily and quickly shift among molecules.
What hydrogen atoms and the oxygen atom in a water molecule are held by?
It all has to do with string theory. There are tiny "strings", as physicists call it, that help the molecules overcome the gravitational and electrostatic forces and bind them together.
A water molecule is held together by what kind of bond?
The water molecule itself is held together by polar covalent bonds between the oxygen atom and the two hydrogen atoms.
What holds the molecules in solid together?
Water molecules are held together by hydrogen bond which is formed between hydrogen of one molecule and oxygen of other molecule. H2O-----H-O-H
What are the components of a molecule and how do they stay together?
Molecules are composed of atoms, which are held together by sharing their outer electrons in covalent bonds. Glucose is the most common biological molecule on Earth.
What is the difference between molecule and an atom?
All matter is made of of atoms. Atoms can be bonded together to make molecules. For example, The molecule H2O is made up of 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen. Atoms can be charged as anions or cations. In molecules there is more than 1 atom held together by a chemical bond. Molecules are neutral. Molecules may be elements or compounds. Atoms are always smaller than molecules. Molecules are always larger than atoms. Atoms are always lighter than molecule. Molecules are always heavier than atoms.
How are the nitrogen bases held together in the center of the DNA molecule?
The nitrogen bases bond A-T and C-G via hydrogen bonds. The bases are held together in the string by a backbone of alternating phosphate and sugar molecules.
What is a group of two or more atoms that is held together by bonds.?
This is a molecule.
