It is an inert gas and thus has 8 outer electrons already and thus is extremely stable and does not need to form a diatomic species
A chemical family whose members exist as reactive diatomic molecules in the gaseous phase is the halogen family. All halogens are considered as toxic.
The fact that hydrogen forms diatomic molecules makes it similar to the halogen family, which also consists of elements that typically exist as diatomic molecules in their natural state, such as chlorine and fluorine.
The group that contains elements which do not conduct electricity and exist as diatomic molecules is the halogens, specifically elements like fluorine (F) and chlorine (Cl). These nonmetals are typically poor conductors of electricity due to their lack of free-moving electrons. In their elemental form, they exist as diatomic molecules (F₂, Cl₂) under standard conditions.
Hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and the hallogens.
All elements can exist as individual atoms in excited states. However, at standard temperature and pressure, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine exists as diatomic molecules.
Some elements do not naturally occur as diatomic molecules, such as helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon. These elements exist as monatomic gases because they are stable in their single atom form due to having a full valence electron shell.
Many elements do not exist as diatomic molecules. Metals, like iron, copper, silver, lead, etc. Even some nonmetals, helium, argon, sulfur, etc. Only a few do exist as diatomic molecules, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, chlorine, fluorine, bromine, and maybe astatine.
Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine, Oxygen, Nitrogen and Hydrogen all exist as diatomic molecules.
Diatomic molecules cannot exist on their own because if they are alone they are very unstable and will react with any element very quickly.
The halogens (Group 17) are the family of elements that most often exist as diatomic molecules in their elemental form. This includes elements like chlorine (Cl2), fluorine (F2), bromine (Br2), and iodine (I2).

krypton DOESNT EXIST SO I DONT THINK SO
Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Chlorine and Fluorine are diatomic gases. Bromine is a diatomic liquid. Iodine is a diatomic solid. (at room temperature)
Hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and the hallogens.
All elements can exist as individual atoms in excited states. However, at standard temperature and pressure, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine exists as diatomic molecules.
Yes because some elements exist in their natural state as diatomic molecules, and are thus both elements and molecules.See the Related Questions for a complete list of the diatomic molecules.
