Question

What is di tri and poly atomic

Answer 1

Answer:

The Correct Answer is mentioned below

Explanation:

Diatomic molecules have only two atoms, which can be of the same or distinct chemical elements. The prefix di- comes from Greek and means "two." A diatomic molecule is homonuclear if it contains two atoms of the same element, such as hydrogen (H2) or oxygen (O2). Otherwise, a diatomic molecule, such as carbon monoxide (CO) or nitric oxide (NO), is considered to be heteronuclear if it contains two distinct atoms. A non-polar link exists in a homonuclear diatomic molecule.

Triatomic molecules have three atoms, which might be from the same or separate chemical elements. H2O, CO2 (shown), HCN, and O3 are among examples (ozone)

Electrically neutral groups of three or more atoms are bound together by covalent bonds in polyatomic compounds.

Answer 2

On an atomicity basis molecules can be diatomic, triatomic and polyatomic.

• Atomicity is can be determined by total number of atoms present in a molecule e.g. each molecule of Hydrogen has 2 H atoms bonded covalently to each other. Hence Hydrogen is a diatomic molecule with atomicity 2.
• Nitrogen, chlorine, Flourine, oxygen, etc. are some other examples of diatomic molecules.
• Ozone is an example of triatomic molecule.
• Sulphur can form polymeric S8 molecules.
