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