YES!!! Atmospheric oxygen is a molecule of two(2) oxygen atoms , which are doubly bonded. It is structurally represented by (O=O).

Oxygen has an allotrope, named 'Ozone' (O3). This is three oxygen atoms combined in a triangulr manner. Any one oxygen atom will make two single bonds to the other two oxygen atoms. Ozone ii naturally found in the upper atmosphere and is thought to protect Earth from some types of Solar Radiation.

Is this true or false an oxygen molecule usually has 2 oxygen atoms?

true, oxygen double bonds with itself


Is it true that an oxygen molecule has two atoms?

Yes, the diatomical molecule does exist as two oxygen atoms.


The chemical formula for water H2O means that each water molecule contains?

someone had it roung it 2 hydrogen molecule and 1 oxygen molecules. so it true


Is it true that in a water molecule the electrons within the molecule are attracted more towards the hydrogen atoms?

Water is a polar molecule where the electrons spend more time in orbitals around the oxygen atom because it is significantly more electronegative than the hydrogen atoms. So, false is the answer.


What are two atoms that are covalently bonded?

One example is oxygen O2 it's called a diatomic molecule


Are polypeptides a molecule?

Yes. Remember that when 2 atoms of the same or different elements combine, it forms a molecule. 2 hydrogen atoms + 1 Oxygen atom = 1 molecule of H20(water). The same holds true for proteins, proteins are composed of amino acids, which are in turn composed of different molecules, which are also composed of different atoms.


Is this true when one burns hydrogen with oxygen to make water two oxygen atoms go into each water molecule?

No. When making water by burning Hydrogen in Oxygen (a very explosive reaction) is that 2 atoms of Hydrogen and 1 atom of Oxygen join together to form 1 water molecular - H2O.

Is this true the oxygen you breathe a diatomic molecule?

yes?


How does water's chemical formula relate to the numbers and kinds of atoms in its molecules?

Chemical formula: H2O The H stands hydrogen, and the 2 shows that there are two hydrogen atoms in each molecule of water. The O stand for oxygen, and since it has no subscript (the number after the symbol, like the 2 in H2O), it is assumed there is only one atom of oxygen in each molecule of water (which is true).


A polar molecule has a partial positive side and a partial negative side?

Yeah, water is an example. Oxygen is usually negative, and hydrogen is usually positive.
