Are most gases made up of a single atom?
Yes. Unlike most elements, the noble gases are monoatomic meaning they only have one atom. The atoms have stable configurations of electrons. Noble gas is translated from the German noun Edelgas, first used in 1898 by Hugo Erdmann to indicate their extremely low level of reactivity.
