Is sodium monoatomic or diatomic molecule?

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.


In neutral molecules how many bonds are commonly formed by nitrogen and separately how many by oxygen?

3 bonds are commonly formed by nitrogen and 2 are commonly formed by oxygen.


What type of bond forms when two atoms of oxygen form an oxygen molecule?

A covalent bond


Is oxygen compounds or a atoms or molecules?

"A chemical compound is a pure chemical substance consisting of two or more different chemical elements"So says wikipedia!O2 does not have two or more different chemical elements and so cannot be a compound. It is, however, a molecule (which only requires 2 or more atoms connected by bonds).To clarify - all compounds are molecules...but not all molecules are compounds.O2 represents a molecule of oxygen.An atom is the smallest component of any element having all the chemical properties of that specific element.A molecule is the simplest complete structural unit of an element or compound that can exist in nature.A compound is a substance consisting of two or more different elements or molecules formed by the chemical union of two or more elements or molecules in definite proportion by weight.


What is is the formula for oxygen?

Oxygen, the element, has no formula. Its name is abbreviated as "O." Oxygen occurs naturally in two molecular forms, diatomic oxygen (whose formula is O2) and ozone (whose formula is O3).

When the ozone molecule splits does it make another ozone molecule or many?

When the ozone molecule splits, it forms individual oxygen atoms. These oxygen atoms can either combine with other oxygen molecules to form new ozone molecules or combine with other molecules in the atmosphere. The process of ozone splitting and reforming is part of the Earth's natural ozone cycle.


How does ozone 03 form from 02?

Ozone (O3) forms when oxygen molecules (O2) are split apart by ultraviolet (UV) radiation in the atmosphere. The UV radiation can break apart an oxygen molecule to form two oxygen atoms, which can then combine with an oxygen molecule to form ozone.


How is a molecule formed?

Molecules are formed when atoms lose electrons and then attach themselves to other atoms


How does the combination of hydrogen and oxygen create water?

When hydrogen and oxygen combine, they undergo a chemical reaction that forms water. This reaction involves the bonding of hydrogen and oxygen atoms to create water molecules, with two hydrogen atoms bonding with one oxygen atom to form a water molecule (H2O).


What are the bonds that connect the hydrogen molecules to the oxygen molecules?

The bonds that connect hydrogen molecules to oxygen molecules in water are covalent bonds. In a water molecule, each hydrogen atom forms a covalent bond with the oxygen atom by sharing electrons.


What type of rection forms one large molecule from two or more smaller one?

A condensation reaction forms one large molecule from two or more smaller molecules. This process involves the removal of a smaller molecule, such as water, as two molecules combine to form a larger product.


Does an oxygen molecule usually have two oxygen atoms?

Yes, oxygen is a diatomic molecule, meaning it naturally forms O2.


Are polypeptides a molecule?

Yes. Remember that when 2 atoms of the same or different elements combine, it forms a molecule. 2 hydrogen atoms + 1 Oxygen atom = 1 molecule of H20(water). The same holds true for proteins, proteins are composed of amino acids, which are in turn composed of different molecules, which are also composed of different atoms.


What atoms form when they combine together?

When atoms combine, they form molecules. The type of molecule formed depends on the atoms involved and how they bond with each other. Bonding can occur through ionic bonds (transfer of electrons) or covalent bonds (sharing of electrons).


What is the definition of condensation synthesis?

Condensation synthesis is a chemical reaction in which two molecules combine by the removal of a small molecule, typically water. This process forms a larger molecule through the bonding of the two smaller molecules. It is commonly seen in the formation of biological polymers like proteins and nucleic acids.


How does the ozone hole form over Antarctica in Spring?

In the Spring, the earth tilts far enough toward the sun that the Chloroflorocarbons (CFCs) can be mobilized and become active. Once active, they attach themselves to the Oxygen molecules in the O2 gas -- ozone -- and the hole forms. A technical description from Wikipedia includes: "Ozone is formed in the stratosphere when oxygen molecules photodissociate after intaking an ultraviolet photon whose wavelength is shorter than 240 nm. This converts a single O2 into two atomic oxygen radicals. The atomic oxygen radicals then combine with separate O2 molecules to create two O3 molecules. These ozone molecules absorb ultraviolet (UV) light between 310 and 200 nm, following which ozone splits into a molecule of O2 and an oxygen atom. The oxygen atom then joins up with an oxygen molecule to regenerate ozone. This is a continuing process that terminates when an oxygen atom "recombines" with an ozone molecule to make two O2 molecules."


What name is given to the bond between water molecules?

The bond between water molecules is called the hydrogen bond.
