I'm sorry I got mad. Long day and I'm tired of homework. I got it figured out now though.
Yeah, only diatomic elements are Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Florine, Chlorine, Iodine, and Bromine. A bit important when calculating mass percent or other problems seeing as the atomic mass doubles.S.Lythberg wrote:

ugh, my god. The fucking halogens are or whatever, then theres phosphorus and oxygen and shit. Who cares?S.Lythberg wrote:
none of those are halogens...
and only in the gaseous state, they become P(+/-)4, S-2, H+, NO3- (I've never seen free N, too unstable, N3- (azide) can exist for short periods), and O-2 in solution.
All halogens assume a -1 charge in solution, to complete their valence electron shell
Fluorine will melt your glasses
