Homonuclear refers to a molecule or compound composed entirely of atoms of the same element. This term is commonly used in the context of diatomic molecules, such as O₂ (oxygen) or N₂ (nitrogen), where two identical atoms are bonded together. In contrast, heteronuclear molecules contain different types of atoms. Homonuclear species are significant in various fields, including chemistry and physics, particularly in studies of molecular symmetry and spectroscopy.

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.
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 do we mean by homo-nuclear molecule?
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.
What is a chemical compounds composed of the same elements?
I'm not sure what it is that you want to know as I can't make sense of your question. An element is one of any of the 92 which occur naturally in or on the surface of the earth. Examples are carbon (a non-metallic solid), copper (a metal), oxygen (a gas). An element cannot be broken down into smaller parts by any chemical process. Elements are the building blocks for everything that we see around us. Compounds are substances made up of two or more different elements Examples are water (2 hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom). The air that we breath contains carbon dioxide, which is a compound (one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms) Metal alloys, e.g. bronze, are not compounds. they are mixtures of two or more different metals Hope this helps
Why homoneuclear diatomic moleclue are ir inactive?
Homonuclear diatomic molecules are IR inactive because they do not have a permanent dipole moment. In these molecules, the electronegativity of the atoms is the same, resulting in no difference in electronegativity between the atoms to create a dipole moment. As a result, there is no change in the dipole moment when the molecule vibrates, making them invisible to infrared spectroscopy.
What is the result when two identical nonmetals are bonded together?
A nonpolar covalently bonded homonuclear diatomic molecule.
Which of the transitions in the electronic spectrum of a homonuclear diatomic molecule is forbidden?
g->g, u->u + -> -, - -> + Delta |Lambda| > 1

Is S3 a elemet or compound?
S3 is an element. It is a molecule composed of three sulfur atoms bonded together, forming a homonuclear diatomic molecule.

What is correct charg of N on a N-N bond?
Since there's no difference in electronegativity between the two atoms (applies to any homonuclear diatomic), the bond is perfectly covalent and neither atom is charged.
Does H2 have a molecular dipole moments?
No. H2 does not have a permanent dipole moment.
What are the 3 types of molicule?
The three main types of molecules are: Homonuclear diatomic molecules, composed of two atoms of the same element. Heteronuclear diatomic molecules, composed of two different atoms. Polyatomic molecules, composed of three or more atoms bonded together.
What is a compound called with the same element?
It is simply called a molecule of an element. (ex: O2 is oxygen gas, H2 is hydrogen gas)

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.
