Diatomic Molecules

Diatomic Molecules: are a special situation where a _________________ bond forms between two of the
________ non-metals.

By joining together, each atom can achieve a full valence shell and therefore become _________________.

There are eight elements that commonly form diatomic molecules:

_________, _________, __________, __________, __________, __________, __________, and _________.

Example: Fluorine gas (Bohr Model) Fluorine gas (Lewis Diagram)

Practice: Draw the Bohr Models for the following diatomic molecules.

1. Hydrogen Gas (H2) 2. Chlorine Gas (Cl2)

Draw the Lewis Diagram for the following diatomic molecules.

1. Hydrogen Gas (H2) 2. Chlorine Gas (Cl2)
