An atomic element are able to exist in nature with single atoms as their basic units. Most elements fall into this category and example is helium. He

Molecular elements do not normally exist in nature as a single atom but exist as molecules- two or more elements bonded together.

Most of these are diatomic molecules ( they exist in pairs in nature) N, H, O, F, Cl,Br,I and they will look like the follows in nature H2, Cl2 .......

the polyatomic are P, S, Se, such as P4, S8....

these elements exist primarily as diatomic or polyatomic molecules....
