Monatomic compounds are composed of single atoms and there are no chemical bonds between these atoms. Diatomic compounds are composed of molecules containing two atoms. ... The main difference between monatomic and diatomic compounds is the number of atoms present in those compounds.

How an atom relates to a molecule?

Molecules are formed by different arrangements of atoms. Example: one molecule of water is formed by 2 atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. (H2O). This is called the formula of a molecule.

Is neutralization reaction called displacements reaction?

No. A neutralization reaction is one in which an acid reacts with a base to form a salt and water. A displacement reaction is one in which one atom or molecule is replaced by another atom or molecule.


Is H2CO an atom element or molecule?

H2CO (I assume that the "2" is meant as a subscript of the "H") is a molecule called formaldehyde. It is called a molecule since it consists of more than one atombonded together (it consists of two hydrogen, one carbon, and one oxygen atom). Elements are made up of atoms; compounds are made up of molecules.


What does the element DO stand for?

There is no ELEMENT with the symbol "DO" however, it would be the molecule which is one atom of deuterium (D) and one atom of oxygen (O). Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen. This molecule would be called deuterium oxide.

What is one atom of sulfur reacts with one molecule of oxygen to form one molecule of sulfur dioxide?

When one atom of sulfur reacts with one molecule of oxygen, they combine to form one molecule of sulfur dioxide. This reaction involves the sulfur atom bonding with the oxygen atom to create the sulfur dioxide molecule, which has one sulfur atom and two oxygen atoms.


How can an atom not be a molecule?

A molecule is composed of one or more atoms that are properly bonded to each other. If a molecule contains more than one atom, each atom is then a partial molecule as opposed to a whole molecule. Therein lies the difference.
