Note that amount of atoms in each of these molecules does not matter, it is the elements present in a particular molecule that matter.
H2, O2, N2, F2, - These groups can be very happy with each other. Two oxygens together can seriously alive a whole party. Two fluorines together though can be very dangerous. They might be OK together, but as someone else joins in they might get destroyed by the hyper-reactive fluorines.
H2O – A very good combination. They do well together to create something as lively as water, but as we know that 89% of total mass of water molecule is oxygen, it shows that most of the liveliness comes from oxygens and a little bit from hydrogens who are just supporters in this relationship.
CO2 – Even though oxygens can easily alive a hydrogen turning it into water, it might be a bit more difficult to bring life to a neutral carbon. Carbon dioxide is not very reactive. However…
CO – Sometimes oxygens and carbons can bond so well together that they can be extremely reactive, once the threshold of carbons has been reached as carbon monoxide is very reactive.
HF – Hydrofluoric acid is extremely corrosive. It shows that relationships between loving hydrogens and pushy fluorines is not going to be good and will produce a dangerous reaction. Keep these two away from each other.
CH4 – We all know that methane is an alkane and alkanes are very unreactive. This shows that a neutral carbon and a neutral hydrogen can do very well together and their relationship can be a very quiet and calm one. They do not get on each other’s way at all.
NH3 – Nitrogens and hydrogens can do well together, but probably not perfect enough to produce a better compound.
N2O – A laughing gas indeed. The name says it all what can happen between these two - a lot of laughter and love.
FeO, Fe2O3 – Irons and oxygens can show something. An iron ore can be very useful thanks to the gifted irons and to the lively oxygens who can unleash those gifts that irons have.
Uranium's reactions are way too unpredictable.
Obviously there are way more possible bonds, but I do not know all of them too well.
I was thinking of coming up with some sort of questionnaire to help people find out what elements are more distinguished in them, so if you have any ideas then leave a comment and I will have a look and see.
