Diatomic bonds are covalent bonds between two of the same atoms. These atoms are the ones that end with -gen
Elements that form diatomic molecules:
Hydrogen
Oxygen
Flourine*
Chlorine*
Bromine*
Iodine*
Astatine*
*note that these elements are in the halogen group

When an atom forms a molecule with another atom of itself the result is?
The result is called particle.
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.
What is the number of atom in oxygen?
The oxygen is a diatomic molecule - O2.
How does molecule differ from an atom?
A molecule may be one or more atoms, where as an atom can only be one atom. For instance there are hydrogen atoms, and diatomic hydrogen molecules.
Why is O2 a molecule but O is not?
One oxygen is only the atom; two oxygen atoms form this diatomic molecule.
Which of these elements is not a diatomic nitrogen bromine oxygen calcium?
Calcium, alone among the elements listed, does not form a diatomic molecule with another atom of itself.
Is 02 an atom or molecule?
O2 is the diatomic molecule of oxygen.
When an atom forms a molecule with another atom of itself the result is?
The result is called particle.
Does a diatomic atom contain two lone pairs?
No. There is no such thing as a diatomic atom. A diatomic molecule is a molecule that contains two atoms. The number of lone pairs depends on what atoms are bonded.
Is chlorine an atom or a or a molecule?
It is a diatomic molecule, i.e. it exists as Cl2
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.
What is the number of atom in oxygen?
The oxygen is a diatomic molecule - O2.
CoCl2 is this a single atom diatomic molecule molecule or a formula unit?
it is a formula unit
Is the diatomic molecule of hydrogen is also a compound because it is composed of more than one atom?
The diatomic molecule of hydrogen is not considered a compound.
How does molecule differ from an atom?
A molecule may be one or more atoms, where as an atom can only be one atom. For instance there are hydrogen atoms, and diatomic hydrogen molecules.
Is methane a diatomic molecule?
No. A diatomic molecule contains two atoms. A molecule of methane contains one atom of carbon and four of hydrogen for a total of five.
Is xenon an atom or molecule?
Xenon is an element. It is mostly found in atomic form but can exist as a diatomic molecule.
