No. Carbon as only itself exists in the shape of normal carbon (no crystal structure), graphite( hexagonal crystal structure of carbon with 3 bonds), diamond (cubical crystal structure of carbon with 4 bonds), fuleren - nanotubes and lonsdaleite( hexagonal crystal structure of carbon with 4 bonds).

∙ 13y agoNo. C2 does not exist, because it is not possible to form a quadruple bond. However, carbon does form large network solids such as diamond and graphite. In these solids many many carbon atoms are all connected together in a repeating pattern.

∙ 11y agoApparently it can happen but its not very common, so for all intensive purposes no.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoThe diatomic carbon molecule (C2) was observed only in very hot flames, in cosmic objects, electric arcs by spectroscopy.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoNo, a diatomic molecule has 2 atoms, no more, no less.
CO2 has 3 atoms; 1 carbon, 2 oxygen.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoNo A diatomic molecule has only 2 atoms, carbon dioxide has 3 (1 carbon atom, 2 oxygen atoms)
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoNo. Carbon Dioxide is triatomic: 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms.
Wiki User
∙ 6y agoCarbon dioxide has the chemical formula CO2, so contain 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms. Because the number of atoms is 3 in carbon dioxide it is not a diatomic molecule.

How does volcanic activity affect carbon dioxide?
it seperates the diatomic molecule and makes it a monotomic molecule, or carbon monoxide
How many moles of carbon dioxide can be produced from 54g of oxygen?
The equation for the formation of carbon dioxide from carbon and oxygen is C + O2 -> CO2 . Therefore, one mole of carbon dioxide can be formed from each mole of diatomic oxygen. To the justified number of significant digits, the gram molecular mass of diatomic oxygen is 32. Therefore 54/32 or 1.69 moles of carbon dioxide can be produced. (The last digit is smaller than the others to show that it may not be accurate within 1 digit.)
Is nitrogen gas monatomic or diatomic?
Nitrogen gas is diatomic.
Is iodine diatomic or monatomic?
diatomic
Are carbon dioxide and carbon tetrachloride the only two non polar molecules?
No! There are many others, including in particular the completely nonpolar diatomic molecules of the elements H, N, O, F, Cl, Br, and I.
What is the chemical name for C2?
In Chemistry, C2 is the symbol for Diatomic Carbon.
Does carbon occurs as a diatomic molecule?
Yes Yes
Is carbon a diaomic molecule?
Carbon is an element which does not tend to form diatomic molecules; it has a variety of different forms such as graphite, coal, or diamond, but all of these are characterized by very large aggregations, not diatomic molecules.
How does volcanic activity affect carbon dioxide?
it seperates the diatomic molecule and makes it a monotomic molecule, or carbon monoxide
Is carbon monoxide a diatomic molucule?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO it is a Diatomic Molecule would be 02, if your doing a science online quiz I would bee glaad to help you with it
What is an example of a diatomic molecule?
Common diatomic molecules can be remembered using the anagram HOFBrINCl (Hydrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine, Bromine, Iodine, Nitrogen, Chlorine). Diatomic molecules don't have to be composed of only one type of element (homonuclear). Carbon Monoxide (CO) is also an example of a diatomic molecule.
What type of oxide is Carbon monoxide?
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a diatomic molecule with two atoms: carbon (C) and oxygen (O).
What elements aren't diatomic?
C (carbon) is not diatomic,neither is N (nitrogen), O (oxygen)
What is a molecule formed of two identical atoms called?
A molecule made up of two atoms is called a diatomic molecule. A diatomic molecule can be composed of two of the same atoms, called a diatomic element. Hydrogen gas, H2, is an example of a diatomic element. A diatomic molecule can also be a compound composed of two atoms of different elements, such as carbon monoxide, CO.
Is methane a diatomic molecule?
No. A diatomic molecule contains two atoms. A molecule of methane contains one atom of carbon and four of hydrogen for a total of five.
What is in a diatomic molecule?
Just two atoms - either the same (as in O2) or different, as in CO (carbon monoxide)
What compound is made of diatomic molecules?
Diatomic molecules include hydrogen H2, oxygen O2, nitrogen N2, chlorine Cl2, fluorine F2, bromine Br2 and iodine I2; these are homonuclear diatomic molecules because they contain the same atoms. Heteronuclear diatomic molecules include hydrochloric acid HCl, carbon monoxide CO and nitric oxide NO.
