A covalent molecule.
With the exception of the noble/inert gases, all gases are diatomic.
Atmospheric oxygen is O2 = (O=O)
Atmospheric nitrgoen is N2 = (N///N)
Chlorine is Cl2 = (Cl-Cl)
et.seq.,
When two atoms of the same element come together, they form a molecule of that element. For example, when two oxygen atoms come together, they form a molecule of oxygen (O2).
The answer expected here is non-metal, and examples are carbon, chlorine, sulfur phosphorus. Metals have metallic bonds. However there are compounds where atoms of a metallic element form covalent bonds to other atoms of the same element.
Molecule
Atoms do have the same properties as long as stable form of its corresponding element is not a molecule. For example H1 (Hydrogen) which is a single atom has the same properties that of Hydrogen as it doesn't require to be in a molecular form to be stable. On the other hand O1 (Oxygen) doesn't have the same properties as Oxygen that we breathe as that Oxygen is actually O2 which is actually necessary for it to remain stable.
The prefix for seven atoms of the same element is "hepta-". So a molecule with seven atoms of the same element would be described as "heptatomic".

the same type of atoms come together to form an element
Diatomic
Dalton's atomic theory states that elements are composed of indivisible atoms and that all atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties. Atoms of different elements have different masses and properties.

Elements with isotopic atoms? An isotope is the same form of an element, but with a different number of neutrons. An element with isotopes/"isotopic atoms" is simply an element with isotopes.

ALLOTROPE
Did you mean, "What could be different about 2 or more atoms of the same element?" If you did, the answer is that they can have a different number of neutrons.
no
Atoms of the same element are alike in terms of their number of protons, which determines the element. However, atoms of the same element can differ in the number of neutrons they contain, leading to different isotopes of that element.
