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).

No, it certainly is NOT.
Water is TRI-atomic, 2 Hydrogen and 1 Oxygen atoms.
Diatomic compounds are things like Nitrogen Oxide NO, Carbon Monoxide CO, etc

Is h2 a atom or molecular?
H2 is the molecular formula for hydrogen gas; H is the chemical formula for one atom of hydrogen, whether it be gas, liquid, or solid.
What is the advantage of using a structural formula over a molecular formula?
A molecular formula indicates the numbers of atoms of each element in the molecule, but a structural formula also indicates the arrangement of the atoms in the molecule. For example, H2O is the molecular formula for water, but H-O-H is the structural formula, showing how the hydrogen and oxygen atoms are arranged in the molecule.
Is CO an emperical formula or a molecular formula?
CO is both an empirical formula and a molecular formula.
How are the empirical and molecular formulas for a compuond related?
An empirical formula is a brutto formula; a molecular formula explain the structure of a molecule.
What is the chemical symbol for O2?
O2 is the chemical formula for the diatomic molecule of oxygen.
An example of a molecular formula for a diatomic molecule?
H2 + 2O2 --------> 2H2OHydrogen and Oxygen are both diatomic.
What chemical formula represent a diatomic molecule?
a diatomic molecule is a molecule with two atoms. so H2 is a diatomic molecule. HCl is also a diatomic molecule. C4H6 is not a diatomic molecule, because it has more then 2 atoms
Diatomic molecule with a triple covalent bond?
The most common one is molecular nitrogen, with formula N2.
What is the formula for a molecule of Cl?
Cl2 is a diatomic gaseous elementthe molecular formula for the molecule Cl is ClOne Cl means it is one atom and that means it is NOT a molecule,so it has no 'molecular formula' at all.Molecules exist of at least TWO atoms, bound to each other
Is h2 a atom or molecular?
H2 is the molecular formula for hydrogen gas; H is the chemical formula for one atom of hydrogen, whether it be gas, liquid, or solid.
Which is not a formula for a diatomic molecule?
He
CoCl2 is this a single atom diatomic molecule molecule or a formula unit?
it is a formula unit
What is the advantage of using a structural formula over a molecular formula?
A molecular formula indicates the numbers of atoms of each element in the molecule, but a structural formula also indicates the arrangement of the atoms in the molecule. For example, H2O is the molecular formula for water, but H-O-H is the structural formula, showing how the hydrogen and oxygen atoms are arranged in the molecule.
Does hydrogen exist as a diatomic?
Yes, hydrogen gas exists as a diatomic molecule with the formula H2.
Which is the correct molecular formula if the molecule has 6 carbons?
The correct molecular formula if a molecule has 6 carbons is : C6. The 'C' is the symbol for carbon and the little '6' tells us that there are 6 carbons in a particular molecule.
What is is the formula for oxygen?
Oxygen, the element, has no formula. Its name is abbreviated as "O." Oxygen occurs naturally in two molecular forms, diatomic oxygen (whose formula is O2) and ozone (whose formula is O3).
What is formula for bromine?
Bromine is a diatomic liquid under normal conditions with a molecular formula of Br2
