Classify each of the following on the basis of their atomicity.
(a) F2 (b) NO2
(c) N2O (d) C2H6
(e) P4 (f) H2O2
(g) P4O10 (h) O3
(i) HCl (j) CH4

The number of atoms constituting a molecule is known as its atomicity. On the basis of atomicity, the elements may be classified as follows:
Monoatomic | Diatomic | Triatomic | Tetratomic | Polyatomic |
He | F2 | N2O | P4 | C2H6 |
Ag | HCl | NO2 | H2O2 | CH4 |
O3 |
