Diatomic molecules
« on: April 25, 2010, 08:11:51 PM »
Hi are H, N, O, Cl, F, Br and I the only diatomic molecules?--or is it the major ones that you usually start with and focus on alone?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

I assume you mean homonuclear diatomic molecules instead of heteronuclear diatomics because there are many more heteronuclear diatomic molecules that you listed.
