  • Diatomic Molecules: Definition, Examples & Properties
    A substance formed of two atoms is called a diatomic molecule.

    Here are some examples of diatomic molecules:

    * Oxygen (O2): The oxygen we breathe is a diatomic molecule.

    * Nitrogen (N2): The most abundant gas in the atmosphere.

    * Hydrogen (H2): The lightest element and a key component of water.

    * Fluorine (F2): A highly reactive halogen.

    * Chlorine (Cl2): A greenish-yellow gas used in disinfectants.

    * Bromine (Br2): A reddish-brown liquid at room temperature.

    * Iodine (I2): A purplish-black solid.

    It's important to note that these molecules consist of two atoms of the same element bonded together.
