Question

Classify the following molecules based on their atomicity and fill in the table:

Fluorine $(F_{2})$ , Carbon dioxide $({CO}_{2})$ , Phosphorous $(P_{4})$ , Sulphur $(S_{8})$ , Ammonia $({NH}_{3})$ , Hydrogen iodide $(HI)$ , Sulphuric Acid $(H_{2} {SO}_{4})$ , Methane $({CH}_{4})$ , Glucose $(C_{6} H_{12} O_{6})$ , Carbon monoxide $(CO)$ .

Molecule	Di-atomic	Tri-atomic	Poly-atomic
Homo
Hetero

Accepted Answer

Molecule Di-atomic Tri-atomic Poly-atomic

Homo Fluorine $(F_{2})$ Phosphorous $(P_{4})$ , Sulphur $(S_{8})$ ,

Hetero Hydrogen iodide $(HI)$ , Carbon monoxide $(CO)$ Carbon dioxide $({CO}_{2})$ , Ammonia $({NH}_{3})$ Sulphuric acid $(H_{2} {SO}_{4})$ , Methane $({CH}_{4})$ , Glucose $(C_{6} H_{12} O_{6})$

A molecule is said to be diatomic if it is made up of two atoms. Triatomic molecules are molecules that contain three atoms. Polyatomic molecules are electrically neutral groups of three or more atoms held together by covalent bonds. When both the combining atoms in the molecule are of the same element, then they are said to be homoatomic(diatomic, triatomic, polyatomic) molecules. When both the combining atoms in the molecule are of different elements, then they are said to be heteroatomic(diatomic, triatomic, polyatomic) molecules.
