The explanation as to why each of the elements occurs as diatomic molecules is as follows;

When two hydrogen atoms pair together, they form a single bond to achieve complete duet.

Hydrogen atom has only the 1 shell and 1 valence electron and an Hydrogen molecule is formed when the duet is achieved.

H + H —> H–H —> H2

When two halogen like Chlorine, Cl (each with a valency of 7) atoms yields a single bond to achieve a complete octet which is stable. Each Cl will contribute 1 electron each to form a single bond..

Cl + Cl —> Cl–Cl —>Cl2

Upon bonding of two oxygen atoms, a double bond is formed to achieve a complete octet which is a stable configuration.

Oxygen has a valency of 6 and needs 2 more electrons to complete its octet configuration. Each oxygen atom will contribute 2 electrons each to form a double in order to complete it octet configuration.

O + O —> O=O —>O2

When two nitrogen atom pair together, they form a triple bond to achieve a complete octet which is stable.

Nitrogen has a valency of 5 and needs 3 more electrons to assume an octet configuration. Each nitrogen atom will contribute 3 electrons each to form a triple bond in order to complete its octet configuration.

N + N —> N≡N —> N2.

The answer to your question is given below

Explanation:

1. When two hydrogen atoms pair together, they form a single bond to achieve complete duet.

Hydrogen atom has 1 shell and 1 valence electron and they contribute it to form bond, thereby obtaining a stable duet configuration

H + H —> H–H —> H2

2. When two halogen atom pair together, they form a single bond to achieve a complete octet which is stable. For example, Cl has 7 electrons in its outermost shell and need 1 more electron to complete it octet. Each Cl will contribute 1 electron each to form a single bond..

Cl + Cl —> Cl–Cl —>Cl2

3. When two oxygen atoms pair together, they form double bond to achieve a complete octet which is a stable configuration.

Oxygen has 6 electrons in its outermost shell and needs 2 more electrons to complete its octet configuration. Each oxygen atom will contribute 2 electrons each to form a double in order to complete it octet configuration.

O + O —> O=O —>O2

4. When two nitrogen atom pair together, they form a triple bond to achieve a complete octet which is stable. Nitrogen has 5 electrons in its outermost shell and needs 3 more electrons to complete it octet configuration. Each nitrogen atom will contribute 3 electrons each to form a triple bond in order to complete its octet configuration.

N + N —> N≡N —> N2.
