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.
Sodium is not diatomic. Sodium is a metallic element that typically exists as individual atoms in its elemental form. Diatomic molecules, on the other hand, are molecules made up of two atoms of the same element bonded together. An example of a diatomic molecule is diatomic oxygen (O2).
Yes because oxygen is always found in nature in pairs.
The smallest complete unit of a compound or diatomic gas is a molecule. A molecule consists of two or more atoms bonded together. For diatomic gases like oxygen (O2) or nitrogen (N2), the molecule is composed of two atoms of the same element.
a diatomic molecule is where two of the same atoms are joined together to create a molecule. these include O2,N2,F2,Cl2, I2, Br2. to answer your question. Br2, is a diatomic molecule.
Sulphur exists as a polyatomic molecule which is S8
Helium is monoatomic.
No, sodium is an element that exists as single atoms and not as molecules. Sodium is a monoatomic element because it consists of single atoms.
Oxygen has a diatomic molecule and ozone a triatomic molecule.But also monoatomic oxygen exist.
Gold has one stable isotope and many radioactive ones.
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.
Liquid bromine is a monoatomic molecule as it is a liquid
Sodium is a monoatomic element, meaning it exists as single atoms in its elemental form. Each sodium atom has one electron in its outer shell.
no. it is monoatomic
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.
No - chlorine exists as Cl2 and is thus 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.
Diatomic, the same as most other elemental gasses (the main exception being the monoatomic molecules of the Noble Gasses).
