Atoms are able to exist independently as some atoms exist independently such as noble gases.

All the elements on the far right side of the periodic table (inert or noble gas) atoms can exist independently because they all fulfil the octet rule. They do not need bond to become stable. 

Hence, Atoms are not able to exist independently is an incorrect statement.
