Oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, chlorine, and fluorine all form diatomic molecules.
The 7 elements that readily form diatomic molecules are hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and Iodine. Astatine might theoretically form diatomic molecules, but it is so rare and radioactive that it is hard to study.
Carbon and oxygen are elements, not molecules, so their chemical formulas are just their symbols, C and O. However, oxygen forms a gas that's made up of diatomic molecules whenever there are two atoms near each other (basically always) so it's represented as O2.
Molecules are the combination of two or more atoms which may exist free in gaseous form or in solutions, the ionic compounds are not the molecular compounds because their one unit can not exists freely but as the crystal lattice.
1. The atoms in the molecule are held together by ionic bonds. 2. The atoms are held together by covalent bonds. 3. The atoms are held together by coordinate covalent bonds. This is one answer to your question. Another answer is: 1. Polar molecules. 2. Non-polar molecules. Please be more specific in the future.
atoms Edit: Atoms and elements are two different things, an elements basic form is an atom. The most common elements found in carbon based molecules besides carbon are Oxygen, Hydrogen, and Nitrogen. However, there are others depending on the molecule.
Nitrogen, Oxgen and all the halogens (Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine and Astatine) exist as a diatomic molcules.
diotomic elements
Diatomic molecules have non-polar covalent bonds and are non-polar molecules
The Halogens (Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, and Iodine) exist as diatomic molecules, as do hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen.

Yes because some elements exist in their natural state as diatomic molecules, and are thus both elements and molecules.See the Related Questions for a complete list of the diatomic molecules.
Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine, Oxygen, Nitrogen and Hydrogen all exist as diatomic molecules.
we can identify the element having diatomic by finding out the valency of that element. i think it helps you.
No its not. there is Diatomic Molecule compounds which consisting of two different element like: CO, NO, MgO, HCl,and HF. however, diatomic molecules are elements that are found in pairs such as: O2,N2,F2,Cl2.
nitrogen can :)
Hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and the hallogens.
