Atoms cannot exist in a free state on their own, but can exist in a free state as molecules.
Lots of experiments have been done that can only be explained if you assume that atoms exist; thus, there is a lot of indirect evidence that atoms exist. All this indirect evidence leads us to believe that atoms are, indeed, real.(from exploring creation with physical science by Dr. Jay L. Wile)
gas
Plasma. Plasma is a state of matter in which atoms are stripped of their electrons, creating a mix of ions, electrons, and neutral particles. It is often found at high temperatures, such as in stars, lightning, and some industrial processes.
An atom is the basic unit of matter that contains equal numbers of protons and electrons, making it electrically neutral. An ion is an atom or molecule that has gained or lost electrons, resulting in a positive or negative charge. In summary, atoms are neutral, while ions are charged particles due to gain or loss of electrons.
No, oxygen in its standard gaseous state does not contain plasma. Plasma is the fourth state of matter, distinct from gases, and is created by ionizing gases to produce a highly excited collection of atoms and free electrons.
All elements and compounds are present in molecular state. They cannot be found as individual atoms. Atoms cannot exist in free state.

You suppose reality is made up of individual bits of "matter" called "atoms"? And that these things can not exist in of themselves (free state)? The more powerful question you should be asking is, "why do scientists believe matter can be created and/or destroyed", when that violates their own laws of thermodynamics that state matter can not be created and/or destroyed? You also need to ask, "why do we still believe in matter/atom concept?", when it is clear mainstream mathematical physics has made the concept of matter/atom too complex to understand?
bcz their energy is low thats why they can exist independently while the energy of some atoms is so high that they can only exist as ions or molecuoles not as free atoms
If free will doesnt exist, the future is predetermined and cannot be changed.
Actually quarks can exist freely.
Akaline metal do not exist in free state due to high level of ionization energy in them.
Chlorine does not exist as seperate atoms as it often tends be stable by obtaining an electron from another atom. However, the element chlorine exists in free state as gaseous chlorine molecules.
One of the very small invisible particles of which all matter is supposed to consist., The smallest part of any substance which possesses the characteristic properties and qualities of that substance, and which can exist alone in a free state., A group of atoms so united and combined by chemical affinity that they form a complete, integrated whole, being the smallest portion of any particular compound that can exist in a free state; as, a molecule of water consists of two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen. Cf. Atom.

In the gaseous state, metals exist as individual atoms or molecules instead of a solid lattice structure. This prevents the free movement of electrons needed for conductivity. Additionally, in a gas-phase environment, the atoms or molecules are typically too far apart for efficient electron transfer.
