Solution
The correct option is D Ozone
The explanation for the correct option:
- A triatomic molecule is a molecule made up of three atoms of an element. For example, Ozone (O3)
The explanation for the incorrect option:
- Monoatomic molecules contain only one atom. For example carbon (C), fluorine (F) etc.
- Diatomic molecules have only two atoms, which can be of the same or distinct chemical elements. For example nitrogen (N2) or oxygen (O2), carbon monoxide (CO) etc.
- Polyatomic molecules are those molecules which contain more than two atoms. For example sulfur (S8), phosphorus (P4) etc.
Therefore, the correct answer is option (d).
