I believe you are refering to a diatomic molecule- although it doesn't really matter whether or not it has bonded yet.
The structure of a molecule that is identical to the keyword is the same in terms of the arrangement of its atoms and bonds.
Yes, they generally are. In the case of ammonia, NH3, nitrogen has an electron pair and three unpaired electrons (as per Hund's rule.) The pair remains unbonded, but each single electron bonds single-covalently to a hydrogen. The unbonded pair "pushes" the 3 bonded hydrogens downward into a "tripod" shape, making the molecule pyramidal. The molecule is polar because the unbonded pair constitutes a negative partial charge.
An example of a chemical formula representing a molecule containing two atoms of oxygen is O2.
The smallest identical unit of a compound is a molecule. A molecule is made up of two or more atoms bonded together in a specific arrangement.
This is only true if "diatomic" refers to 2 identical atoms (i.e., same element) Since 2 atoms form a straight line, the compuond is automatically symmetrical. Also, since the atoms are identical, the pull on electrons is equal, and the electrons are shared evenly. Therefore, since the charges are equal all across the molecule, no poles form. It is nonpolar.
This is a cis molecule.

The s electrons in N2 are unbonded; there are four of them in each nitrogen atom and therefore 8 in the molecule N2.

In the molecule ONF (oxygen monofluoride), there are two unbonded electrons. The oxygen atom has six valence electrons, and it forms one bond with nitrogen and one bond with fluorine, resulting in two unbonded electrons on the oxygen. The nitrogen and fluorine atoms are each bonded to oxygen and do not have any unbonded electrons in this specific arrangement.
Molecules that have identical molecular formulas but the atoms in each molecule are arranged differently are called isomers.

Yes, an element is composed of millions of identical atoms.
A molecule containing a very large number of atoms.
Of a molecule, containing two oxygen atoms.
Diatomic or Diatomic Molecule- meaning containing only two atoms.
