Best Answer

I think by diatoms you are going for diatomic molecules. The answer is yes. All four (hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and bromine) commonly exist as diatomic (molecular) species. Oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N2) are obviously major components of the atmosphere. Hydrogen (H2) and bromine (Br2) are not found in nature due to their extreme reactivity. Hydrogen atoms are found almost exclusively in water (H2O) and organic matter/petroleum derivatives. Bromine atoms are typically found in the ocean in the form of dissolved salts and in molecules found in marine life. Despite the fact that H2 and Br2 are very rare in nature, they can be synthesized in bulk and made commercially available for manufacturing and research.

How do you draw a diatom?

Diatoms are two atoms of the same element bonded together. The only diatoms that form are Br2, I2, N2, Cl2, H2, O2, and F2. You can remember these diatoms using BrINClHOF (brinklehoff) as a mnemonic. Diatoms are drawn with a dash (-) in between the two atoms like so: Br-Br, I-I, N-N, etc.

What do the Br N C l H O F elements have in common?

HOFBrINCl are all atoms that are found as diatoms when in their natureal gaseous state. This means that they are gasses when at room temperature, but the individual atom are not found alone. Rather, they are found in groups of two. (ex. N2) because they are more stable that way.


In chemistry which elements do the letters C O N and H represent?

In chemistry C represent Carbon, O represents Oxygen, N represents Nitrogen, and H represents Hydrogen. These are all the most common elements in organic chemistry.


How does Na Br2--NaBr balance?

Na + Br ₂→ NaBr This happens because: When certain diatomic elements (Br, I, N, Cl, H, O, F) are alone you add a 2 as a subscript so they are (Br₂, I,₂ N₂, Cl₂, H₂, O₂, F₂). But when you cross Na (which has a charge of +1) with Br (which has a charge of -1) They cancel and you get NaBr.

Is CF4 and NH3 a covalent compound?

Ammonium bromide is ionic NH4+ Br-. The ammonium ion contains covalent N-H bonds


What types of elements form diatomic compounds?

If yoy think to diatomic (atoms of same element) molecules: O, N, Cl, F, Br, I, H.


What is HOFBrINCl?

They are all diatomic molecules. They stand for H = Hydrogen O = Oxygen F = Flourine Br = Bromine I = Iodine N = Nitrogen Cl = Chlorine


Which type of bond would N and Br make?

The N-Br bond should be predominantly ionic due to high electronegativity difference


Is hydrogen and hydrogen gas are same?

Hydrogen is an element on the periodic table. Hydrogen is a brinclhof element (Br, I, N, Cl, H, O, F) and as such occurs in pairs (H subscript 2) in its gaseous state.
