Sodium does not exist as molecules in the room temperature and pressure because it is a metal. Although it forms diatomic 'molecules' in gaseous phase at very high temperatures.

Can sodium and mercury exist in monoatomic molecule in vapour state?

No, sodium and mercury exist as diatomic molecules in the vapour state due to the nature of their chemical bonding. Sodium forms Na2 while mercury forms Hg2 molecules.

Definition of mono atomic molecule and examples?

monoatomic is when a molecule is made up of only one kind of atom .Diatomic is when molecules are made up of two kinds of atoms. The answer is entirely incorrect ! For example the molecule of hydrogen H2 is made up of one kind of atom (say Hydrogen-1) and is NOT MONOATOMIC ! It is simply diatomic. The molecule of NO2 is made of two kinds of atoms but it is NOT DIATOMIC !. It is TRIATOMIC. The correct answer should be: The monoatomic molecule is a molecule that contains only one atom and is able to exist nonbonded to other neighboring species. Examples of monoatomoc molecules are atoms of He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe. The diatomic molecule is a molecule that is composed of TWO atoms (either the same or different) and is able to exist nonbonded to other neighboring species. Examples: H2, N2, NO, HCl. I think someone placed that previous answer to have 100% warranty for the discussion.


Is chlorine monoatomic element?

No - chlorine exists as Cl2 and is thus diatomic.


Is oxygen element monoatomic or diatomic?

Oxygen can either be diatomic, monoatomic and triatomic. The question is which one is the most stable. The most stable is obviously diatomic oxygen O2. Next is triatomic (ozone) O3 and the least stable (very unstable) is monoatomic. Monoatomic oxygen is very shortly living species combining easily (due to very high electronegativity) with large number of elements including another oxygen atom. If we are required to say which is the most common form of oxygen then we need to say it is diatomic O2 existing at room temp and atmospheric pressure as a gas.


What type of molecule does hydrogen have?

Diatomic, the same as most other elemental gasses (the main exception being the monoatomic molecules of the Noble Gasses).
