question 8

Explanation:

Diatomic elements are defined by their natural state: they form stable molecules consisting of two identical atoms bonded together, unlike most elements which exist as single atoms or other structures. The other options are incorrect: diatomics like oxygen are reactive, they fit in the periodic table, and not all are liquid at room temperature (e.g., oxygen is gas, iodine is solid).

Answer:

The atoms are found in pairs in nature.
