A molecule made of only two atoms is called a diatomic molecule (or simply diatomic). The two atoms can be the same (homonuclear) — e.g., H2, N2, O2, Cl2 — or different (heteronuclear) — e.g., CO, NO, HCl. Diatomic bonds can be single, double, or triple (e.g., H2 single, O2 double, N2 triple).
Common naturally diatomic elements: H, N, O, F, Cl, Br, I (mnemonic: "Have No Fear Of Ice Cold Beer").
