The diatomic molecule of hydrogen is not considered a compound.
A molecule made up of two atoms is called a diatomic molecule. A diatomic molecule can be composed of two of the same atoms, called a diatomic element. Hydrogen gas, H2, is an example of a diatomic element. A diatomic molecule can also be a compound composed of two atoms of different elements, such as carbon monoxide, CO.
H2 or hydrogen gas is neither a mixture nor a compound. It is an element because it is only made up of one element which is hydrogen.
H2 is the formula of the diatomic molecule of hydrogen.
It is a compound composed of molecules.
No. Hydrogen is not a compound.Related Information:A compound molecule consists of two or more differentelements.An elemental hydrogen molecule is diatomic, composed of two atoms of the same element, so is not a compound, even though it is bonded like some compounds.Naturally occurring hydrogen consists of diatomic molecules of hydrogen. The outer shell electron, the only electron, of each of two hydrogen atoms tends to form one covalently bonded molecule, H2.
Diatomic or Diatomic Molecule- meaning containing only two atoms.
If you're talking about a diatomic COMPOUND, it is simply a compound composed of two atoms or elements. [Di=two :) ] But if you're talking about a diatomic MOLECULE, it is a molecule consisting of 2 atoms, but only 2 non-metals since a molecule is a neutral group of atoms joined together by covalent bonds. There shouldn't be a metal, since that is not a molecule; a metal plus a non metal forms an ionic bond which isn't neutral because it has a certain charge.
Yes, hydrogen gas exists as a diatomic molecule with the formula H2.
water is a compound because it consists of nutrients
Hydrogen is a chemical element, gas at room temperature, having a diatomic molecule.
The electrons are shared in the diatomic hydrogen molecule.
A binary compound is a chemical compound that contains exactly two different elements. An example would be water containing hydrogen and oxygen, H2O.
