How many atoms are in a molecule of hydrogen?
There are two hydrogen atoms in a hydrogen molecule. It is a diatomic molecule, meaning that there is two atoms in one molecule. Many gases are diatomic. In the Periodic Table there are 11 elements that are gases at Room Temperature: Hydrogen, Helium, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine, Neon, Chlorine, Argon, Krypton, Xenon and Radon. Of these gases, the ones that are diatomic are: Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine and Chlorine. One liquid and two solids are also diatomic, the liquid: Bromine, the solids: Iodine and Astatine.
What is the carbon backbone?
On Earth, life is said to be Carbon based because the majority of macromolecules are supported by a carbon backbone. Take for example a saturated fatty acid which consists of hydrogen atoms bonded onto an infinitely long series of carbon atoms which are arranged in a more or less straight line. These atoms make up the carbon backbone, it can be linear (such as the ones found in fatty acid), they can from a ring (as in most monosaccharides) or have an irregular shape.
Why does hexane not form a solution with water?
Water is a polar molecule (is a dipole, has a positive end and a negative end), hexane is a non-polar molecule. Like dissolves like. Water will dissolve other polar molecules, like HCl and NH3. Hexane will dissolve non-polar molecules like benzene or toluene.
What is a layer of soil?
there are many types of layers of soil first the sedimentary the soft ones then primary the really hard ones
What is oxygen plus oxygen?
Except for He, Ne, A, Kr, Xe and Rn, the gaseous elements (such as hydrogen, oxygen, chlorine and nitrogen) usually combine two atoms into a molecule under standard conditions. Read your chemistry book to learn what conditions are considered the standard ones and why. Two atoms of oxygen thus form one one molecule of oxygen, also called dioxygen. With a bit of persuasion (for instance by zapping a bolt of lightning through the air) three atoms of oxygen can join into ozone. Ozone is an allotropic form of oxygen. Mixing oxygen gas with more oxygen gas under standard temperature and pressure does not create anything different. All you have is more oxygen. Read your chemistry book to learn more about monatomic gases, allotropes and oxygen. For more knowledge, investigate which elements are liquid at or near standard conditions, and whether they are monatomic. Similarly, investigate whether all the halogens are normally diatomic.
What bond holds together a molecule of water?
Water has covalent bonds.The bonds between atoms in a water molecule are covalent bond, somewhat polar ones.
Do all atoms always come in pairs to form a molecule?
Yes; a molecule is the bonding of at least two atoms of either the same or distinct elements. it can also contain many more than 2 atoms. water, H2O for example, is a molecule that contains 3 atoms (2x H, 1x O) a molecule of Sulphuric acid (H2SO4) contains 7 atoms (2x H, 4x O, 1x S) i could go on, but you get the picture 2 is the minumum

How many different kinds of atoms are in oxygen gas?
No different ones, just Oxygen atoms.

When atoms of different elements join together by chemical bonds they form a?
2 or more atoms joined together form a suspension, solution, mixture, or compound. I don't know what kind of joining together you are talking about so it could be any of the ones i had just mentioned.
What are the elements that form diatomic molecules?
There are seven diatomic molecules: H2, O2, N2, F2, Cl2, Br2, and I2. For anyone who does not know what a diatomic molecule is, in science, "di" means "two", and "atomic" obviously means "atoms". So a diatomic molecule is a molecule with two atoms of the same element. These seven diatomic molecules are the only ones that when combined, do not react. These are known as stable compounds. Hope this helps.
How are atoms different then elements?
YES!!!!!!! Atoms are the ones that make up the elements!!!!!!!
How are elements different atoms?
YES!!!!!!! Atoms are the ones that make up the elements!!!!!!!
What molecule can break down into smaller molecules?
Yes. A molecule is made up of atoms, and similarly atoms can be broken down into smaller components called protons, neutrons, and electrons. These can be further broken down into quarks and leptons, the building blocks for all matter.
What is the bond If atom X forms a diatomic molecule with itself?
Diatomic bonds are covalent bonds between two of the same atoms. These atoms are the ones that end with -genElements that form diatomic molecules:HydrogenOxygenFlourine*Chlorine*Bromine*Iodine*Astatine**note that these elements are in the halogen group
Why molecules of a substance in a gaseous state attain free movement?
Different atoms and molecules have different degrees of attraction for other atoms and molecules in their vicinity. They also have different degrees of kinetic energy, which is measured by temperature. In other words, hot atoms and molecules have faster motion or vibration than cold ones. If the kinetic energy exceeds the attraction, the molecule or atom flies off on its own. If the attraction exceeds the kinetic energy, the molecule or atom remains glued in place.
