Diatomic molecules include hydrogen H2, oxygen O2, nitrogen N2, chlorine Cl2, fluorine F2, bromine Br2 and iodine I2; these are homonuclear diatomic molecules because they contain the same atoms. Heteronuclear diatomic molecules include hydrochloric acid HCl, carbon monoxide CO and nitric oxide NO.
What else can I help you with?
Is the compound HCl made up of molecules?
Yes, the compound HCl is made up of molecules. In its gaseous state, hydrogen chloride exists as diatomic molecules, with each molecule made up of one hydrogen atom and one chlorine atom bound together by a covalent bond.
HCl ionic compound?
No, although it ionizes in water it is composed of diatomic molecules in its pure form.
Is it possible to get an element that is also a compound?
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.
Why compounds are molecules?
All compounds are made up of molecules. For example, salt, a compound, is composed of molecules (NaCl). By please do remember that molecules are not only limited to compounds. Meaning, there are also molecules that are not classified as compounds. The definition of a compound is a substance that is made up of two or more elements. A molecule is composed of two or more ATOMS connected by chemical forces. An example is oxygen air (O2). Oxygen air is a diatomic MOLECULE but it is NOT a COMPOUND.
What is a substance that is made of molecules with two atoms?
diatomic molecule
Which of the molecules are diatomic molecules in ethyl alcohol?
Oxygen and hydrogen have diatomic molecules.
Is the are you breath a single compound?
No. Air always contains two elements, oxygen and nitrogen, neither of which is a compound, although they occur as diatomic molecules.
Is sodium diatomic?
Sodium is not diatomic. Sodium is a metallic element that typically exists as individual atoms in its elemental form. Diatomic molecules, on the other hand, are molecules made up of two atoms of the same element bonded together. An example of a diatomic molecule is diatomic oxygen (O2).
How many elements are made up diatomic molecules?
Only Two
Is a diatomic molecule of one element a compound?
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.
What is meant by molecules?
A molecule is two or more chemically bonded atoms, this can be as in a diatomic element such as oxygen which in its natural elemental state is found as O2 or it can be as part of a compound, such as silver nitrate AgNO3. It is what makes up the diatomic element or the compound.
N2 is a compound or element?
N2 is a diatomic molecule of nitrogen. It is an element, not a compound. Elements are composed of only one kind of atom. Compounds are composed of two or more different elements that are chemically bonded.
