Is water is a diatomic molecule?

i think the answer is yes because one user already said that oxygen wasnt so water is because i narrowed it down as an answer.

Is oxygen gas heavy than air?

On average, oxygen (O2 which is 2 oxygen atoms) makes up about 20-21% of air. The bulk of the rest of it is Nitrogen (N2 which is 2 nitrogen atoms) (about 78%).Oxygen has a molecular weight of about 16 per atom. Nitrogen has a molecular weight of about 14 per atom. Pure Oxygen gas is thus heavier than "air."For example:Say you had a sample of air containing 8 Nitrogen atoms and 2 Oxygen atoms (80% N2, 20% O2). Based on atomic weight, it would come in at 150. (150 is calculated by multiplying the 8 nitrogen atoms by = 112, and then multiplying the 2 oxygen atoms by 16 = 32, and adding 112 and 32 together = 150).If you had the same amount of pure oxygen gas (O2), you would have 10 oxygen atoms times 16 = 160.So as a rough approximation, if the weights of oxygen gas = 160 and air = 150, air is approximately 93.75% the weigh of oxygen gas.. or in other words, "air" is approximately 6.25% lighter than pure oxygen gas.


What are visible particles in the air called?

Molecules. A common molecule in air is O2, or two oxygen atoms stuck together. A 'particle' is a general term for anything very, very small. A molecule specifically indicates a combination of two of more atoms. Atoms are the smallest things which can exist independently, they come in over 100 different types and all substances are made up of different combinations of atoms. For example iron is made up of Iron atoms but steel is made of iron atoms with some carbon atoms. Diamond is made of carbon atoms while petrol (gasoline) is made of a combination of carbon and hydrogen atoms. Water is a molecule made of oxygen and hydrogen. The air is a mixture of things. Nitrogen gas makes up most of the air, each molecule of nitrogen is made of two nitrogen atoms joined together. Oxygen is another major component of the air and again, each molecule is made of a pair of oxygen atoms. (Not all things are combined, helium is a gas found in the very highest parts of our atmosphere and is not a molecule but instead exists as individual atoms.)


Why is magnesium a solid at room temperature but oxygen is a gas?

In a metal such as magnesium, the outermost electrons come loose from their atoms, leaving behind positive ions and are shared among all the atoms in a give chunk of the metal as a common electron pool. The positively charged ions are attracted to this electron pool, so the whole mass stays together. This phenomenon is called metallic bonding. In oxygen two atoms share a set of four atoms to form a two-atom molecule that is only weakly attracted to nearby molecules, so it can move freely of other particles.

Are atoms also known as molecules?

No. The atoms are the basic elements seen on the periodic table. Atoms come together to make molecules. Water is an example of a molecule. It is 2 hydrogen atoms bonded to 1 oxygen atom.

Why is peroxide called H2O2?

Peroxide is called H2O2 because it has two hydrogen molecules and two oxygen molecules that make up its composition. 2 positivly charged HYDOGEN atoms and 2 negitivly charged OXYGEN atoms come together and form H2O2

Is liquid oxygen a compound?

Oxygen (O) is an element. O2 gas is NOT an element. Its a Molecule. When two simillar atoms come together, they form molecule. When Dissimilar atoms join, they for compounds. Ex : H2O


What is a molecule and how is it formed?

1. A molecule is a group of at least two atoms chemically combined in definiteproportions.For example, a water molecule (H2O) is always composed of two atoms of hydrogen chemically combined with one of oxygen. (a 2 hydrogen :1 oxygen proportion)If you have a combination of three hydrogen atoms with one oxygen atom(3 hydrogen:1 oxygen ) , the combination is notwater;this is what is meant by defininte proportions.2. Molecules are held together by covalent bonds;i.e., the sharing of pairs of electrons holds the atoms together. Also, molecules are held together by columbic forces or forces of electrostatic attraction in case of ionic compounds.Additional Note : * If different kinds of atoms combine to form a molecule, thesubstance formed is called a compound.An example of a compound is water.* If atoms of the same kind combine to form a molecule, the substance iscalled an element.Example , oxygen (O2)
