Best Answer

A homonuclear molecule is one in which all the atoms are of the same element. Examples are H2 and P4 or even a diamond, which consists of a giant molecule composed of carbon atoms.

The bond order of a homonuclear diatomic molecule can be decreased by .?

You can decrease the bond order of a molecule like F2 or B2 by adding 1 electron to the neutral molecule.

What is homonuclear and heteronuclear?

A homonuclear molecule is a diatomic molecule consisting of 2 molecules with the same nuclei (H2, O2, etc) these molecules are nonpolar, covalents and have inversion symmetry. A heteronuclear molecules is a diatomic moleculein with the 2 nuclei are different (CO, NaCl, etc) they are generally polar and ionic. The use of "u" and "g" in classifying the orbitals is unneeded as the is no inversion symmetry.


Which of the transitions in the electronic spectrum of a homonuclear diatomic molecule is forbidden?

Is F2 classified as a polar covalent?

No, fluorine F2 is a homonuclear molecule so there is no difference in electronegativity. This means that fluorine is a nonpolar compound.


What is homo diatomic molecule?

A molecule containing same type of atoms is called Homoatomic Molecule e.g hydrogen,ozone,sulphur, and phosphorus are the exampled of molecules formed by the same type of atoms.When a molecule consists of different kinds of atoms,it is called Hetroatomic Molecule e.g water.

Why Br2 microwave active?

I don't think it is. Microwave energy levels correspond to rotational modes, and for rotational spectroscopy, a molecule has to have a dipole moment... homonuclear diatomics like Br2 don't, and thus do not exhibit a pure rotational spectrum.
