Is oxygen made of molecules or atoms?
Gaseous oxygen at normal Earthly conditions is composed of diatomic molecules. At very high temperatures, these can decompose into individual atoms. In other words that means that it is made of molecules.
Diatomic molecules at room temperature?
Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Chlorine and Fluorine are diatomic gases. Bromine is a diatomic liquid. Iodine is a diatomic solid. (at room temperature)
Why do you need to know the 7 diatomic molecules?
Because the Hydrogen element only exists in nature by its self as a molecule with TWO hydrogen atoms. So if you have a sample of hydrogen, each hydrogen atom will be H2 (not just H). That is why it is called a Di-(two)-atomic-(atoms) molecule. Hope this helps.
Why bromine is the only non metal which is liquid?
Halogens exist as diatomic molecules so Bromine exists as Br2, Now the state of any element is determined by the forces which hold the structure/state together, in the diatomic molecules the most important are Van Der Waals forces of attraction specifically the London dispersion forces, which increase as the number of electrons in the diatomic molecule increase. F2 ( 18 electrons) and Cl2 (34 electrons) are gases under normal conditions, Br2 (70 electrons) is a liquid and I2 (106 electrons) is a solid.
Diatomic elements are represented by what?
Diatomic elements are elements which consist of two atoms of the same element joined together in their normal elemental state. The diatomic elements are: hydrogen oxygen nitrogen and the halogens (chlorine, bromine, etc.)
Is fluorine gas liquid or solid?
Fluorine can be in all 3 states of matter, however, at room temperature and normal pressure (STP) Fluorine is always in the gas form.It is a colourless (or pale yellow) gas existing as a diatomic molecules F2.
What is Bromine formulas?
Bromine is a diatomic liquid under normal conditions with a molecular formula of Br2
What is formula for bromine?
Bromine is a diatomic liquid under normal conditions with a molecular formula of Br2
What volume does 1 mole of diatomic gas particles occupy at NTP?
The volume occupied by 1 mole of diatomic gas particle at NTP ( Normal Temperature & Pressure) is 11.2 L
What element is non metallic and a diatomic gas that makes up 20 percent of normal air?
oxygen
Which group of the periodic table contains elements that exist as diatomic molecules?
There is a firm IUPAC convention about the numbering of the groups in the periodic table. There does not appear to be one about numbering the periods. Sometimes the first row, containing only H and He is regarded as period 1, or sometimes as period Zero. I will presume that your question was using the first numbering, and frame an answer with respect to elements Na --> Ar Most of the lighter elements in the periodic table will form X2 gases. The ones that will not are (i) Those that have an exactly filled subshell in the electron structure of their atom, and (ii) Those that do not have significant vapour pressure below temperatures where molecules cannot exist, and all matter is monatomic. Na & Cl will form vapours of Na2 and Cl2 respectively. Al & Si do not evaporate until very high temperatures, but low enough that some diatomic molecules can be found in what are largely monatomic vapours. P & S form vapours of P4 and S8 respectively at low temperatures around their respective boiling points, but in each of these cases there is a higher temperature range where P2 or S2 molecules can be observed. Mg and Ar do not form diatomic molecules in the gas (or any other) phase.
Is hydrogen an atom or a molecule?
It groups in pairs, usually noted as H2. You might be wondering why? The answer to this is Hydrogen atom is too unstable to exist as single atom as the valence electron state is unsaturated. Hence it exists as H2
