What is elemental form in chemistry?

Dear Student
Elemental form may refer to either atoms or molecules of an element. It is the native state of an element which contains one or more atoms of the same element and not any other. For example, the elemental form of helium is a monoatomic gas. Similarly the elemental form of hydrogen  is H2 gas, that of nitrogen is N2 gas, sodium metal is Na solid etc. Note that in all the above, the substances contain only atom(s) of only one type of element and not any other element.

In chemistry, an element is a pure substance consisting only of atoms that all have the same numbers of protons in their atomic nuclei. Unlike chemical compounds, chemical elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means.
