Noble Gases
* Helium (He)
* Neon (Ne)
* Argon (Ar)
* Krypton (Kr)
* Xenon (Xe)
* Radon (Rn)
Other Elemental Gases
* Hydrogen (H2)
* Nitrogen (N2)
* Oxygen (O2)
* Fluorine (F2)
* Chlorine (Cl2)
Important Notes:
* Diatomic Molecules: Some elements exist as diatomic molecules, meaning two atoms of the same element bond together. This is the case for hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, and chlorine.
* Not Compounds: Elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances. This distinguishes them from compounds, which are formed from two or more elements. For example, carbon dioxide (CO2) is a compound because it's made of carbon and oxygen.
