An example of a molecule that contains only one type of atom is a diatomic gas. Diatomic gases include Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen. Inert gases are not diatomic.
A molecule of any element is made up of one type of atom. So carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and ozone molecules, among many others, are each made up of one type of atom. However the oxygen molecule is made of atoms that are different from those in the hydrogen molecule.

How can a molecule be either n element or a compound?
A molecule is an element if it contains only one kind of atom, like oxygen, O2, and chlorine, Cl2. A molecule is a compound if it contains more than one kind of atom, such as water H2O, or methane, CH4.
How much indidvidual atom are in one molecule of water?
The formula of water is H2O, showing that each molecule contains one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. Therefore, each molecule contains three atoms.
Molecule in a sentence?
A molecule of water contains one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms.
Is methane a diatomic molecule?
No. A diatomic molecule contains two atoms. A molecule of methane contains one atom of carbon and four of hydrogen for a total of five.
Each molecule of hydrochloric acid contains one atom of hydrogen and what?
I think that there is one atom of hydrogen and one of chlorine.
How is a molecule diffent from a atom?
A molecule contains more than one atom.
What does monotamic mean?
It is when the molecule of a certain element only contains one atom of that elemet.
How can a molecule be either n element or a compound?
A molecule is an element if it contains only one kind of atom, like oxygen, O2, and chlorine, Cl2. A molecule is a compound if it contains more than one kind of atom, such as water H2O, or methane, CH4.
How many molecules of oxygen is need to make water?
None. A water molecules contains one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. Oxygen only contains oxygen.
How much indidvidual atom are in one molecule of water?
The formula of water is H2O, showing that each molecule contains one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. Therefore, each molecule contains three atoms.
How can an atom not be a molecule?
A molecule is composed of one or more atoms that are properly bonded to each other. If a molecule contains more than one atom, each atom is then a partial molecule as opposed to a whole molecule. Therein lies the difference.
Molecule in a sentence?
A molecule of water contains one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms.
Each molecule of hydrochloric acid contains one atom of hydrogen and what?
I think that there is one atom of hydrogen and one of chlorine.
Is methane a diatomic molecule?
No. A diatomic molecule contains two atoms. A molecule of methane contains one atom of carbon and four of hydrogen for a total of five.
How does the formula for water tell you that there is only one oxygen atom in a water molecule?
Water is H2O, so it contains two hydrogen atoms (H2) and one oxygen atom (O).
Which of the following definitions characterizes an element?
only contains one atom
How do an atom and a molecule differ?
A molecule contain: - two or more atoms of different chemical compounds - two or more atoms of the same element An atom is only a...single uncharged atom.
