The seven exceptions to that are the seven elements that are in gaseous form as a diatomic molecule, that is, two atoms of the same element attached to each other. The list of these elements is best memorized. They are: hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine. Was this helpful??

Elements that form diatomic molecules, or molecules of two atoms each, are commonly found on the right side of the periodic table.
