    Study Notes

    Diatomic Molecules Overview

    • Diatomic molecules consist of two atoms bonded together.
    • There are 7 diatomic elements on the periodic table.

    List of Diatomic Elements

    • Diatomic elements are represented by the acronym "HOBrFINCl":
      • Hydrogen (H)
      • Oxygen (O)
      • Bromine (Br)
      • Fluorine (F)
      • Iodine (I)
      • Nitrogen (N)
      • Clorine (Cl)

    Naming Convention

    • The mnemonic "I Never Bring Classwork Home On Fridays" helps recall the names of the diatomic elements:
      • Iodine
      • Nitrogen
      • Bromine
      • Chlorine
      • Hydrogen
      • Oxygen
      • Fluorine

    Subscripts for Diatomic Elements

    • When an element exists independently as a diatomic molecule, a subscript of 2 is used (e.g., Hâ‚‚).
    • In a compound, the diatomic element does not typically show the subscript (e.g., HCl is hydrogen chloride).
    • Exception: If more atoms are required for neutrality in a compound, subscripts must reflect this (e.g., Hâ‚„C for hydrogen with carbon).

    Individual Diatomic Elements

    • Nitrogen: Exists as Nâ‚‚.
    • Oxygen: Exists as Oâ‚‚.
    • Fluorine: Exists as Fâ‚‚.
    • Chlorine: Exists as Clâ‚‚.
    • Bromine: Exists as Brâ‚‚.
    • Iodine: Exists as Iâ‚‚.
    • Hydrogen: Exists as Hâ‚‚.
