Nitrogen is the only one I know, but carbon can form a divalent ion with the formula C2H2-2, which occurs in calcium carbide.

Are all halogens diatomic molecules?
All molecules are nuetrally charged.....or else they wouldn't be molecules. Being a diatomic molecule has nothing to do with it.
What diatomic molecule is join by triple covalent bond?
The most common (but also only one) is O2 ( O=O ).Other diatomic gases are single (Cl2) or triple bonded (N2)
What does O₂ H₂ N₂ mean?
O=O A molecule/diatomic atom of gaseous oxygen. Covalently double bonded. H-H A molecule/diatomic atom of gaseous hydrogen. Covalently single bonded. N to N A molecule/diatomic atom of gaseous nitrogen. Covalently triple bonded.
How do you write a structural formula between 2 hydrogen atoms as a triple bond?
You don't. A triple bond occurs between two atoms that each have either three or four bonding sites. Nitrogen molecules and acetylene molecules have triple bonds. Hydrogen atoms have one bonding site.
Why can't we use nitrogen the way we use oxygen?
Oxygen is more electronegative and so a better electron acceptor. Nitrogen as a gas is a triple bonded diatomic molecule and very unreactive this way.
Which elements can form diatomic molecules joined by a triple covalent bond?
nitrogen can :)
What element can form diatomic molecules held together by a triple covalent bond?
nitrogen

Is N2 an example of a compound with a triple bond?
It is a molecule with a triple bond. A compound has more than one element present.
What diatomic molecule has a triple covalent bond?
Nitrogen molecules, with formula N2, have triple covalent bonds
Dose nitrogen form a diatomic molecule held together by triple covalent bonds?
Yes it does.
How can diatomic molecules together by triple covalent bonds?
The only diatomic that springs to mind with a triple bond is nitrogen. Each nitrogen has five valence electrons sharing three electrons would give both a noble gas configuration, the "octet". The three bonds are a sigma bond along the "axis" between the nitrogen atoms and two pi bonds.
Can nitrogen form diatomic molecule held together by triple covalent bonds?
Yes, that is the form it takes as an element.
What element forms a diatomic molecule with a triple covalent bond?
All halogen molecules (F2, Cl2, Br2, I2) are bonded with a single covalent bond, this bond is not ionic but molecular.ionic molecules (do not exist) are joined. this is because when a diatomic molecule it transforms to a ionic molecule when its joined by a single covalent bond.
What is the diatomic nitrogen molecule best described as?
triple covalent
What is the complete definition of triple covalent bond?
A triple bond in chemistry is a chemical bond between two chemical elements involving six bonding electrons instead of the usual two in a covalent single bond. The most common triple bond, that between two carbon atoms, can be found in alkynes. Other functional groups containing a triple bond are cyanides and isocyanides. Some diatomic molecules, such as dinitrogen and carbon monoxide are also triple bonded. In-skeletal formula the triple bond is drawn as three parallel lines between the two connected atoms.
Why is diatomic nitrogen unreactive?
It is unreactive because diatomic nitrogen is bonded by a triple bond. This triple bond takes so much energy to break, that it does not likely naturally react with other substances
