Question

Which of the following is/are diatomic molecules? - a.oxygen b.nitrogen c.hydrogen d.chlorine​

Answer 1

$\LARGE\underline{\purple{\sf{Required\:answer:-}}}$

a. Oxygen

Yes , oxygen is a diatomic molecule . It can bond with the another oxygen atom by sharing electrons by which both the oxygen atoms acquire stable electronic configuration. The new compound formed is O₂ (oxygen gas)

b. Nitrogen

Yes , Nitrogen is also a diatomic molecule . It can bond with the another Nitrogen atom by sharing electrons by which both the Nitrogen atoms acquire stable electronic configuration. The new compound formed is N₂ (Nitrogen gas)

c. Hydrogen

Yes , Hydrogen is also a diatomic molecule . It can bond with the another Hydrogen atom by sharing electrons by which both the Hydrogen atoms acquire stable electronic configuration. The new compound formed is H₂ (Hydrogen gas)

d. Chlorine

Yes , Chlorine is a diatomic molecule . It can bond with the another Chlorine atom by sharing electrons by which both the Chlorine atoms acquire stable electronic configuration. The new compound formed is Cl₂ (chlorine gas)

Hence , All the options are correct .

Answer 2

Answer:

Diatomic elements are all gases, and they form molecules because they don't have full valence shells on their own. The diatomic elements are: Bromine, Iodine, Nitrogen, Chlorine, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Fluorine.
