Háromatomos

Háromatomos is a Hungarian adjective meaning "triatomic". It is used in chemistry and physics to describe molecules composed of three atoms. A triatomic molecule is a molecule that contains exactly three atoms. These atoms can be of the same element, as in ozone (O3), or of different elements, as in water (H2O) or carbon dioxide (CO2).

The structure of triatomic molecules can be linear, bent, or sometimes even more complex depending on the arrangement of the atoms and the bonding between them. For instance, carbon dioxide is a linear molecule with the carbon atom in the center bonded to two oxygen atoms on either side. Water, on the other hand, has a bent structure, with the oxygen atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms at an angle.

The properties of triatomic molecules, such as their polarity, reactivity, and vibrational frequencies, are determined by their specific atomic composition and geometric arrangement. Understanding triatomic molecules is fundamental in many areas of chemistry, including spectroscopy, thermodynamics, and chemical kinetics, as they represent a significant class of molecular structures.
