This is an index of lists of molecules (i.e. by year, number of atoms, etc.). Millions of molecules have existed in the universe since before the formation of Earth. Three of them, carbon dioxide, water and oxygen were necessary for the growth of life.
A space-filling model of the diatomic molecule dinitrogen, N 2. Diatomic molecules (from Greek di- 'two') are molecules composed of only two atoms, of the same or different chemical elements. If a diatomic molecule consists of two atoms of the same element, such as hydrogen (H 2) or oxygen (O 2), then it is said to be homonuclear.

Dicarbon monoxide is a product of the photolysis of carbon suboxide: [2] [3]. C 3 O 2 → CO + C 2 O. It is stable enough to observe reactions with NO and NO 2. [4]Called ketenylidene in organometallic chemistry, it is a ligand observed in metal carbonyl clusters, e.g. [OC 2 Co 3 (CO) 9] +.
Ionic compounds without these ions are also known as salts and can be formed by acid–base reactions. Ionic compounds can also be produced from their constituent ions by evaporation of their solvent, precipitation, freezing, a solid-state reaction, or the electron transfer reaction of reactive metals with reactive non-metals, such as halogen ...
Dilithium, Li 2, is a strongly electrophilic, diatomic molecule comprising two lithium atoms covalently bonded together. Li 2 has been observed in the gas phase. It has a bond order of 1, an internuclear separation of 267.3 pm and a bond energy of 102 kJ/mol or 1.06 eV in each bond. [1] The electron configuration of Li 2 may be written as σ 2.
For example, strontium dicyclopentadienyl, Sr(C 5 H 5) 2, must be made by directly reacting strontium metal with mercurocene or cyclopentadiene itself; replacing the C 5 H 5 ligand with the bulkier C 5 (CH 3) 5 ligand on the other hand increases the compound's solubility, volatility, and kinetic stability.

Tungsten trioxide can form intercalation compounds with alkali metals. These are known as bronzes; an example is sodium tungsten bronze. In gaseous form, tungsten forms the diatomic species W 2. These molecules feature a sextuple bond between tungsten atoms — the highest known bond order among stable atoms. [43] [44]
