like for example:
Hydrogen (H2)
Nitrogen (N2)
Oxygen (O2)
Fluorine (F2)
Chlorine (Cl2)

What alkali metal is diatomic?
No metals form molecules; they only exist as ionic compounds or metallic elements or alloys.
Can there ever be a diatomic compound?
Yes, diatomic refers to a molecule comprising of two atoms. Thus nitrogen gas (N2), oxygen gas (O2) and hydrogen gas (H2) are all diatomic. These compounds can also be made up of different elements. Acid-base chemistry aside, hydroflouric acid (HF) and hydrochloride acid (HCl) are also diatomic
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.
An example of a molecular formula for a diatomic molecule is?
A diatomic molecule is any molecule that consists of any two atoms. It can be homonuclear (having two of the same element), like O2 (oxygen) and N2 (nitrogen), or heteronuclear (having two different elements), like CO (carbon monoxide).
Are the gaseous di-atomic molecules of the Elements different from the molecules of Compounds?
Yes. The diatomic molecules of the elements include primarily H2, N2 & O2; Examples of molecular compounds include: H2O, C2H5OH, NH3, CO2, DNA and sugar.
Does soysauce have a diatomic molecule?
The soy sauce is not a molecule but a mixture of compounds.
What types of elements form diatomic compounds?
If yoy think to diatomic (atoms of same element) molecules: O, N, Cl, F, Br, I, H.
What is the term for compounds that contains only two elements?
A diatomic molecule A dinuclear molecule
What alkali metal is diatomic?
No metals form molecules; they only exist as ionic compounds or metallic elements or alloys.
The simplest form for a covalent compound is?
A diatomic acompound such as HF, HCl, or CO. H2, N2, and O2, are not compounds.
What is a combination of two or more atoms of the same type?
Different chemical compounds are obtained.
What are the elements that form diatomic molecules?
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.
Is fluorine a positive molecule?
F2 is a neutral diatomic molecule, it often reacts to form compounds that have a fluoride F-, ion.
What is composed of nitrogen and all its molecules?
Nitrogen has a diatomic molecule, N2. Nitrogen is the component of many organic and inorganic compounds.
Can there ever be a diatomic compound?
Yes, diatomic refers to a molecule comprising of two atoms. Thus nitrogen gas (N2), oxygen gas (O2) and hydrogen gas (H2) are all diatomic. These compounds can also be made up of different elements. Acid-base chemistry aside, hydroflouric acid (HF) and hydrochloride acid (HCl) are also diatomic
what is called a molecule having one atom in it?
Monatomic compounds are composed of single atoms and there are no chemical bonds between these atoms. Diatomic compounds are composed of molecules containing two atoms. ... The main difference between monatomic and diatomic compounds is the number of atoms present in those compounds.
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.
