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.

How many lone pairs of electrons exist on the central atom in carbon CH4?
The Central atom has no lone pairs in CH4
What is the name given to the pairs of valence electrons that do not participate in bonding ina diatomic oxygen molecules?
These pairs of electrons are referred to as lone pairs.
How does a lone pair contribute to the molecular shape?
Lone pairs do not affect the shape of diatomic molecules, and Lone pairs are electrons that are not in bonds. Lone pairs do not affect the shape if they are not on the central atom.
How many lone pairs does SF6 have on central atom?
Every pair of electrons on the central atom (S) of the Lewis structure of SF6 is shared by an F atom, so therefore there are no lone pairs on the central atom.
What type of bonds can fluorine create and why?
diatomic as it has a lone outer electron that can pair with another lone outer electron on another atom

What is the number of lone pairs around the central atom and the molecular geometry of CBr4?
There are no lone pairs and it's tetrahedral.
How many lone pairs does SF6 have on central atom?
Every pair of electrons on the central atom (S) of the Lewis structure of SF6 is shared by an F atom, so therefore there are no lone pairs on the central atom.
Substances with lone pairs on central atom?
Ammonia NH3 one lone pair on Nitrogen, Water H2O two lone pairs on Oxygen.
What is the number of lone pairs around the central atom and the molecular geometry of scl2?
angular with 109.5 degree
