Most elements occur as singular atoms, but there are also diatomic and polyatomic elements, which are sometimes referred to as "molecular elements."

Diatomic atoms: Hydrogen (H), Nitrogen (N), Oxygen (O), Fluorine (F), Chlorine (Cl), Bromine (Br) and Iodine (I)

A good strategy for remembering these is: Have No Fear Of Ice Cold Beer.

Polyatomic atoms: Phosphorus (P), Sulfur (S), Selenium (Se).

What are molecules that contain at least two different types of elements?

Molecules that contain at least two different types of elements are called compounds. Compounds are formed when atoms of different elements chemically bond together to create a new substance with unique properties.
