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.


Is sulfur diatomic?

Yes, sulfur can exist as a diatomic molecule, written as S2. However, under normal conditions, sulfur typically exists as S8 in a ring structure composed of 8 sulfur atoms.


What is formula for bromine?

Bromine is a diatomic liquid under normal conditions with a molecular formula of Br2


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.


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)


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.)


Which of these elements does not exist as a diatomic molecule F Ne I H?

Iodine (I) does not exist as a diatomic molecule under normal conditions. While F (fluorine), Ne (neon), and H (hydrogen) exist naturally as diatomic molecules (F2, Ne2, H2), iodine typically exists as a monatomic molecule, I2.


What elements does not occur as a diatomic molecule?

Many elements do not exist as diatomic molecules. Metals, like iron, copper, silver, lead, etc. Even some nonmetals, helium, argon, sulfur, etc. Only a few do exist as diatomic molecules, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, chlorine, fluorine, bromine, and maybe astatine.


Is normal saline polar?

Yes, normal saline (0.9% NaCl solution) is a polar substance because it is composed of water molecules and ions (Na+ and Cl-) that have uneven distribution of charge across their structure, making them polar molecules overall.


What does a nitrogen particle look like?

A nitrogen particle is composed of one nitrogen atom. At the atomic level, nitrogen atoms have a dense nucleus surrounded by a cloud of electrons, giving them a spherical shape. Nitrogen atoms typically form diatomic molecules (N2) under normal conditions due to their tendency to bond with another nitrogen atom through a triple covalent bond.


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.


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.
