These are the elements that are NATURALLY monatomic:
Helium
Neon
Argon
Krypton
Xenon
Radon
Not all the elements occur naturally; some elements are man-made.
Some elements form monatomic molecules because they have a stable electron configuration when they exist as single atoms. These elements have filled valence electron shells, making it energetically favorable for them to exist as single atoms rather than bonding with other atoms to form molecules.
Inert gases are monatomic because they have a stable electron configuration with a full valence shell. This makes them highly unreactive and unlikely to form chemical bonds with other elements. Their monatomic nature allows them to exist as single atoms rather than forming molecules.
Noble gases consist of monatomic gases. This group includes helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon. These elements have complete outer electron shells, making them stable and unreactive.
All elements can be a gas. Some common elements that are gas at room temperature include: Oxygen, Nitrogen, Hydrogen, Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, and Fluorine.
Some elements do not naturally occur as diatomic molecules, such as helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon. These elements exist as monatomic gases because they are stable in their single atom form due to having a full valence electron shell.
'What is 'xe' ??? If you mean 'Xe' (Xenon), then it is monatomic. It is listed in the Periodiuc Table in the Noble(Inert) gases Group. NB When writing chemical symbols. One letter symbols are ALWAYS a CAPITAL letter. Two letter symbols are , first letter is a CAPITAL letter and the second letter is lower/small case. This is the agreed international standard. Hence Xenon is 'Xe' ; NOT 'xe'.
No. The only monatomic elements are the so-called noble gases.
There are 92 naturally occurring elements on Earth.

Kr is not a monatomic element. Kr is the chemical symbol for Krypton, which is a noble gas and exists naturally as a diatomic molecule (Kr2) rather than as individual atoms.
Inert gases are monatomic because they have a stable electron configuration with a full valence shell. This makes them highly unreactive and unlikely to form chemical bonds with other elements. Their monatomic nature allows them to exist as single atoms rather than forming molecules.
how may elements occur naturally in nature
Noble gases consist of monatomic gases. This group includes helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon. These elements have complete outer electron shells, making them stable and unreactive.
Elements 1-92 except 43 (technetium) and 61 (promethium) occur naturally. So, there are 90 naturally occurring elements.
A diatomic element exists as a molecule containing two of its atoms, such as chlorine (Cl2) and bromine (Br2). Elements that are not diatomic include monatomic elements (noble gases such as Ar, Ne) and triatomic elements (ozone, O3).
