Solution
The correct option is D Molecule of a compound
Two or more atoms of the same element combine to form a molecule of that element. Depending on the number of atoms in the molecules of elements can be classified into:
i. Polyatomic molecule - Molecules containing only one atom, example - Na, Mg and Xe.
ii. Diatomic molecule - Molecules containing two atoms of a similar element, example - H2, N2 and Cl2.
iii. Polyatomic molecule - Molecules containing more than two atoms of a similar element, example- O3.
When atoms two or more molecules join together in a fixed ratio by mass a molecule of a compound is formed.
