Gases that are made up of only two atoms that can be both of the same or of different elements.
Hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, bromine, chlorine, iodine, and fluorine are seven common gases that exist as diatomic molecules of the same element. However there are still examples of diatomic molecules that are made up of non- identical atoms such as carbon monoxide, hydrogen chloride and nitric oxide.

Why air is diatomic?
Air is diatomic because it is a mixture of inert gases like nitrogen which is also diatomic.
Are noble gases diatomic?
Noble gases have full outer electron shells, thus have no 'desire' to combine with anything, even its "brothers."Noble Gases are not diatomic.
Is not an example of a diatomic element?
A diatomic element exists as a molecule containing two of its atoms, such as chlorine (Cl2) and bromine (Br2). Elements that are not diatomic include monatomic elements (noble gases such as Ar, Ne) and triatomic elements (ozone, O3).
Why don't noble gases form diatomic molecules?
Noble gas atoms can not lose energy by combining to form diatomic molecules, because each individual atom already has a filled outer electron shell.
What is a diatomic compounds?
A diatomic molecule is a molecule that occurs in pairs in nature... like for example: Hydrogen (H2) Nitrogen (N2) Oxygen (O2) Fluorine (F2) Chlorine (Cl2) Iodine (I2) Bromine (Br2)

Why group7 elements are in diatomic state?
all gases are found in diatomic state. except bromine and iodine
Are hydrogen and nitrogen both gases?
Under ordinary conditions found on Earth, both hydrogen and nitrogen are diatomic gases.
What element contain a molecule with a covalent bond?
You think probable to diatomic gases.
What is an not example of a diatomic element?

Do noble gases occur in diatomic form?
No. Noble gases have completely filled valence orbitals, have stable electronic configuration. Hence they exist as monoatomic species.
If equal amounts of diatomic gases are under the same conditions of temperature and pressure they have the same number of what?
molecules
What is oxygen gas and hydrogen gas?
They are both diatomic gases. Hydrogen will explode in oxygen to produce water.
Why is the specific heat of poly atomic gases is higher than that of mono atomic gases?
Diatomic gases can absorb heat to increase their vibrational and rotational energy in addition to their translational energy. Monatomic gases have no bonds to vibrate or rotate.
What has the author Rosalind Jin Kan written?
Rosalind Jin Kan has written: 'Interactions of diatomic gases on a heated surface' -- subject(s): Absorption and adsorption, Gases
