Yes, some of the nonmetals (hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and the halogens) form diatomic molecules (H2, N2, O2, etc.). Sulfur forms S8 molecules, phosphorus can form P4 molecules, and the ever versatile element carbon can form C60 molecules among others.
No, phosphorus is an element found in the periodic table. It is not a polyatomic molecule, which refers to a molecule composed of more than two atoms chemically bonded together.
The answer could be molecule, compound and matter depending on the atoms of various element.
When two atoms of the element oxygen combine to form a molecule of oxygen (O2), it is still considered a pure substance because both atoms are of the same element. A compound is formed when atoms of different elements bond together. In this case, O2 is a molecule of an element rather than a compound because it consists of two atoms of the same element bonded together.
Nitrogen naturally occurs as a diatomic molecule (N2). Nitrogen, by itself, is an element.
Note that there is only one capitalized letter in the formula, s o it is an element
it tells you how much of the molecule the element is
This is a compound, a molecule.
The atom of an element is smaller than a molecule.

Percentage composition= (mass of the element/mass of the molecule)*100 The fraction of the molecule's mass that comes from the element's mass
"element" (2 make up a molecule)
Nitrogen is an element that is usually found alone as the N2 molecule. It is not a compound.
Percentage composition= (mass of the element/mass of the molecule)*100 The fraction of the molecule's mass that comes from the element's mass
Gold is an element.
Percentage composition= (mass of the element/mass of the molecule)*100 The fraction of the molecule's mass that comes from the element's mass
A molecule of an element is a molecule made up of the same substance that can exist as an atom; for example, oxygen as O2.
