Atoms of most elements are able to exist independently.

The given statement is 'False'.

Atoms of most elements are not able to exist independently because they are reactive. They react to form more stable substances. The atoms having Octet configuration (8 electrons in outermost orbit) are more stable and inert. The atoms try to attain this configuration by sharing, losing and gaining electrons.

Hence, the correct answer would be, Atoms of most elements are not able to exist independently.
