Diatomic molecules are formed from two atoms, different or identical.
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).
Nitrogen in the atmosphere exists in the form of diatomic molecules, specifically as N2.
Potassium is not a diatomic element. Diatomic elements are those that naturally exist as molecules with two atoms bonded together, such as chlorine (Cl2), iodine (I2), and hydrogen (H2). Potassium (K) does not naturally form diatomic molecules.
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.
Sulfur is NOT a diatomic element. Diatomic elements exist as molecules containing two atoms of the same element bound together, such as fluorine (F2), oxygen (O2), and hydrogen (H2). However, sulfur exists as S8 molecules in its elemental form, with eight sulfur atoms bonded together.
Yes, halogens form diatomic molecules.
liquids
No, they are elements that usually exist as diatomic (two-atom) molecules in their elemental form.
Oxygen and hydrogen have diatomic molecules.
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).
Bromine is the only element that is liquid and forms diatomic molecules Br2. Mercury is also an element and is liquid but is monoatomic.
No, antimony (Sb) is not a diatomic molecule; it typically exists as a solid in its elemental form. Antimony's most common allotrope is a gray metallic solid made up of individual Sb atoms, rather than pairs of atoms as in diatomic molecules. Diatomic molecules are usually formed by nonmetals, like O₂ or N₂, which consist of two atoms bonded together.
Liquid bromine is a monoatomic molecule as it is a liquid
Yes, all halogens are diatomic molecules in their elemental form, meaning that they exist as pairs of atoms bonded together. Examples of halogens include fluorine (F2), chlorine (Cl2), bromine (Br2), iodine (I2), and astatine (At2).
nitrogen can :)
Nitrogen in the atmosphere exists in the form of diatomic molecules, specifically as N2.
Every halogen can form their molecules by a single covalent bond.
