Monoatomic molecules are those elements that occur in the form of a single atom and to achieve this configuration they need to be heated to high temperatures. Helium, neon, argon are monoatomic molecules made up of only one atom. It should be noted that monoatomic gases are less reactive and very stable and can exist in monoatomic state.

Sodium in freestate cannot be a monoatomic molecule.
