If you're talking about a diatomic COMPOUND, it is simply a compound composed of two atoms or elements. [Di=two :) ] But if you're talking about a diatomic MOLECULE, it is a molecule consisting of 2 atoms, but only 2 non-metals since a molecule is a neutral group of atoms joined together by covalent bonds. There shouldn't be a metal, since that is not a molecule; a metal plus a non metal forms an ionic bond which isn't neutral because it has a certain charge.
A molecule consisting of only two atoms such as hydrogen gas (H2).
A molecule; for a diatomic gas this would be something like H2 , Cl2 etc. A compound would be CO2 or CH4 for example.
it is the compound of non polar covalent bond It is a diatomic molecule of chlorine.
No. Bromine is an element. Br2, dibromine, is the diatomic form of the element. A compound is formed from 2 or more different elements.
Iodine, I2 is an diatomic element, with two atoms in the molecule.
Nitrogen naturally occurs as a diatomic molecule (N2). Nitrogen, by itself, is an element.
No.
A molecule; for a diatomic gas this would be something like H2 , Cl2 etc. A compound would be CO2 or CH4 for example.
The diatomic molecule of hydrogen is not considered a compound.
NaCl
oxygen is not a compound it is a diatomic (that means the element comes in pairs)
No its not. there is Diatomic Molecule compounds which consisting of two different element like: CO, NO, MgO, HCl,and HF. however, diatomic molecules are elements that are found in pairs such as: O2,N2,F2,Cl2.
Compound it cant be an element because its a diatomic or polyatomic cnt remember which one but either way its not an element its a compound. Compound it cant be an element because its a diatomic or polyatomic cnt remember which one but either way its not an element its a compound.
Nitrogen gas consists of molecules, each of which consists of two atoms of the element nitrogen. Since a compound has to consist of two or more elements nitrogen cannot be a compound, by definition.
H2 is the formula of the diatomic molecule of hydrogen.
CuCl2 is a compound or molecule with 3 atoms.
it is the compound of non polar covalent bond It is a diatomic molecule of chlorine.
F2 is neither ionic nor a compound, it is an element, fluorine, in the diatomic form.
