Polyatomic. Di- means 2, Poly means several or many. In this case atoms in a molecule. Propane contains 3 carbon atoms and 8 hydrogen atoms per molecule.

Covalent. C3H8 hydrocarbonda are all covalent- there is insufficient difference between carbon and hydrogen to cause an ionic bond.

The general term is fairly straightforward, if you know a little Greek: polyatomic ions.


Does oxygen form covalent bonds?

Yes, with itself in the diatomic molecule O2, in many polyatomic anions, and in oxides with most nonmetallic elements.


Is the charge on a diatomic molecule called the oxidation number?

No. The oxidation number is the charge on the atom of an element, or if the bonding is covalent, what that charge would be if that bonding were ionic. A "molecule" with an electrical charge would be a polyatomic ion, not a molecule.


What is a polyatomic molecule and what can you say about the valence electron structure of all atoms in a polyatomic molecule?

A polyatomic molecule is a molecule with three or more atoms.


What chemical formula represent a diatomic molecule?

a diatomic molecule is a molecule with two atoms. so H2 is a diatomic molecule. HCl is also a diatomic molecule. C4H6 is not a diatomic molecule, because it has more then 2 atoms

Give two examples of monotomic molecules?

A molecule is a group of atoms bonded together. Hence, a molecule is only formed by 2 or more atoms. So, it could either be diatomic or polyatomic but not mono-atomic


What does it mean for hydrogen to be a diatomic molecule?

Diatomic or Diatomic Molecule- meaning containing only two atoms.


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.


Aluminium diatomic molecule?

not diatomic, singular


What type of matter is formed whe two or more elements chemically join together?

If three or more elements are bonded together in a compound (Eg. H2SO4) then that compound is called a "Polyatomic" ion. "Poly" meaning three or more. If there are only two atoms, it is Diatomic (Di meaning two). An example of a diatomic molecule would be CO2.
