nobleman and chemist central
to the 18th-century Chemical

laws of chemical combination.

Tetra-atomic:- When molecule is formed by the combination
of four atoms it is called tetra-atomic molecule. For example:
Phosphorous molecule (P4)
Polyatomic:- When molecule is formed by the combination of more than two atoms, it is
called polyatomic molecule. For example: Sulphur molecule (S8)
One
mole of any species (atoms, molecules, ions or
particles) is that quantity in number having a mass equal to
its atomic or molecular mass in grams.
