Elemental, single element, diatomic gases, which form molecules but are not considered to be compounds are: H2, Cl2, O2, and others.
The reason that some elemental atoms bond diatomically is because they would be too unstable other wise, and probably couldn't exist as a gas. A hydrogen or oxygen atom, for example, could only exist in combination with something else. It is too unstable to exist alone. A covalent bond with another like atom is an ideal alternative.

An example of a molecule?
A molecule of water, a molecule of hydrogen, a molecule of oxygen, a molecule of sugar... Actually more substances come in form of molecules than in atomic form.
Why is H2O an example of polar molecules?
h2o is an example of a polar molecule because when you look at the molecule it is not symmetrical. therefore it is polar.
An example of a covalent molecule?
Hydrogen MOLECULE (H2),,Oxygen (O2), Chlorine(Cl2)
Can a element be a molecule?
Yes; for example, two oxygen atoms combine to form an oxygen molecule.
What is an Example and non example of compound?
A compound is two or more different elements bonded together. A molecule is two atoms bonded together. C02 is a compound and a molecule. H2 is only a molecule, as there is only hydrogen in the formula.

Is Dihydrogen monoxide an example of a nonpolar molecule?
Dihydrogen monoxide (H2O or Water) is not an example of a nonpolar molecule. It is a polar molecule.
Why is a hydrogen molecule an example of a molecule?
H2 is how the molecule of hydrogen is presented
How do you name compound with more than two elements?
This is a ternary conpound.
An example of a molecule?
A molecule of water, a molecule of hydrogen, a molecule of oxygen, a molecule of sugar... Actually more substances come in form of molecules than in atomic form.
