There are seven diatomic molecules: H2, O2, N2, F2, Cl2, Br2, and I2.

For anyone who does not know what a diatomic molecule is, in science, "di" means "two", and "atomic" obviously means "atoms". So a diatomic molecule is a molecule with two atoms of the same element. These seven diatomic molecules are the only ones that when combined, do not react. These are known as stable compounds.

Hope this helps.
