Atoms do not 'become' elements. If it exists as an atom it has always been some type of element from the moment it came into existence. An atom is the smallest piece of an element that is still that element. If you break it down any further you neither have any element or atom, you have subatomic particles.

What is an element that composed of individual atoms?

There are no elements that are composed of molecules because elements are what can be found on the periodic table of elements and they are composed of atoms. When many of these atoms are mixed together they can become molecular compounds because they share their valence electrons and create a bond. Example: Hydrogen (H) is an element, Oxygen (O) is also an element and together they can become H20 which is a molecular compond more commonly known as a molecule.
