| Atomicity of a Molecule of an Element |
|
| The number of atoms, which constitute one molecule of an element, is called its atomicity. |
| |
| Phosphorus: P4 - 4 atomicity |
| |
| Sulphur: S8 - 8 atomicity |
| |
| Oxygen: O2 - 2 atomicity |

| Recently a different form of carbon - C60 has been discovered. It is named buckminsterfullerene. |
