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.
Lewis dot diagrams represent the bonds between the atoms of a molecule, as well as any lone pair of electrons. For instance, in the O2 molecule, there is a double bond between the two oxygen atoms, but there are also two lone pairs of electrons per oxygen atom.
there are three N-H bonds in ammonia and hence ammonia has three bonded pairs of electrons in addition, there is one lone pair of electrons on nitrogen
The central atom of this molecule has two lone pairs and four bonded pairs of electrons. Therefore it has the 'square planar' shape.
Four atoms bound to a central atom with no lone pairs.
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.
Just as the valence electrons of atoms occupy atomic orbitals (AO), the shared electron pairs of covalently bonded atoms may be thought of as occupying molecular orbitals (MO).
The molecule's function and chemical and physical properties
It is a subscript representing atoms in a molecule. In this example Hydrogen is diatomic, which means it naturally forms in pairs. So it is 2 atoms of hydrogen.
A molecule with two bound atoms and one line electron pair

Molecules covalently bonded.
The factors affecting the shape of the molecules are the bonded e and the lone pairs of electrons
This is a linear molecule.
see-saw shaped. Note that the MOLECULAR structure is only concerned about the BONDED atoms, not the lone pairs. Although we take the lone pairs repulsive effects into consideration, we do not include them when DESCRIBING the shape of the bonded atoms
