Neon is an inert, or noble gas. As such, it isn't interested in combining with any other atoms, nor is it interested in hanging out with a like buddy in a diatomic molecule. Remember that the diatomic molecules are the elements that end in -gen (including the halogens). So no, neon is just a singular, fully occupied outer shell atom...just content to be by itself.
A diatomic element exists as a molecule containing two of its atoms, such as chlorine (Cl2) and bromine (Br2). Elements that are not diatomic include monatomic elements (noble gases such as Ar, Ne) and triatomic elements (ozone, O3).
not diatomic, singular
Which of the following does not occur naturally as a diatomic molecule? Chlorine, Hyrdogen, nitrogen or sulfur?
yes
Oxygen has a diatomic molecule and ozone a triatomic molecule.But also monoatomic oxygen exist.
Neon (Ne) does not exist as a diatomic molecule. Fluorine (F), Chlorine (Cl), and Hydrogen (H) can form diatomic molecules (F2, Cl2, H2) due to their bonding characteristics, but Neon is a noble gas and exists as single atoms due to its stable electron configuration.
Iodine (I) does not exist as a diatomic molecule under normal conditions. While F (fluorine), Ne (neon), and H (hydrogen) exist naturally as diatomic molecules (F2, Ne2, H2), iodine typically exists as a monatomic molecule, I2.

Oxygen has a diatomic molecule - O2.
Diatomic or Diatomic Molecule- meaning containing only two atoms.
A diatomic element exists as a molecule containing two of its atoms, such as chlorine (Cl2) and bromine (Br2). Elements that are not diatomic include monatomic elements (noble gases such as Ar, Ne) and triatomic elements (ozone, O3).
not diatomic, singular
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.
A diatomic molecule has 5 degrees of freedom.
A diatomic molecule consists of two atoms chemically bonded together. The general chemical formula for a diatomic molecule is represented as X2, where X is the element symbol of the atom involved. Examples include O2 (oxygen), N2 (nitrogen), H2 (hydrogen), and Cl2 (chlorine).
A diatomic element exists as a molecule containing two of its atoms, such as chlorine (Cl2) and bromine (Br2). Elements that are not diatomic include monatomic elements (noble gases such as Ar, Ne) and triatomic elements (ozone, O3).
Oxygen is a diatomic gas.
