We might apply the term "molecular element" to an element that is not found as a single atom. Some examples might be in order to explain this.
We often hear the term O2 applied to a gas in our atmosphere, which is the element oxygen. Oxygen is not generally found in the atmosphere in single atom units. It is found as diatomic molecules. We find that each oxygen atom has paired up with a "buddy" to form a "molecular element" and taken the form O2. Nitrogen, the most abundant gas in the atmosphere, also appears as the diatomic molecule N2.
There are a few other elements that do not appear as "lone atoms" but will "hang around" with another atom of their kind. This is true of elemental gases, but not the inert or noble gases.

Where on the periodic table will you find the two elements in a binary molecular compound?
There are millions of different chemical compounds and they are made up of many diffent things. Not even necessaraly made of only two elements.
Which type of elements are molecular compounds composed of?
Molecular compounds are composed of all types of elements. I think the answer you're going for is what type of BONDS are molecular compounds composed of. In which case, the answer would be covalant, however this can vary between polar and nonpolar covalant, that's what a molecular compound is made of, otherwise it's an ionic compound.
What elements are in glycine?
The molecular formula for glycine is C2H5NO2. This is the element Carbon plus the element Hydrogen as well as the elements Nitrogen and Oxygen.
Is tea molecular or ionic?
Tea is molecular and not ionic because it comprises of different elements which makes it a compound.It can only be ionic if it will be able to conduct electricity at its state.
Can carbon link to itself and other elements to form very large molecular structures?
yes
Are binary molecular compounds made of metallic elements or nonmetallic elements?
Binary molecular compounds are composed of two nonmetallic elements.
HOW many elements are in this molecular KOH?
3
HOW many elements are in this molecular FeCl3?
2
Are diatomic elements stable when in molecular form?
Yes, these chemical elements are stable.
Are diatomic elements usually stable when in molecular form?
Yes, these chemical elements are stable.
Do molecular elements exist in nature?
Yes, The elements hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur are all molecular elements that exist in nature. Due to their reactivity, it is rare to find the halogens and phosphorus in their elemental forms in nature.
The molecular mass of a compound is 63.008 amu contains Hydrogen and Oxygen and Nitrogen elements It molecular formula is?
HNO3
What are molecular composed of?
A compound is composed from atoms of chemical elements.
The molecular mass of the compound is 132 amu. What is the molecular formula?
This is impossible. In order to find this you must know the elements in the compound
Where on the periodic table will you find the elements in a molecular compound?
Molecular compounds contain nonmetals, which are on the far right of the periodic table.
Is CF2Cl2 a molecular or ionic compound?
No, CF2Cl2 is covalent as the the three elements in it (Carbon, Fluorine, and Chlorine) are all nonmetals. Nonmetals form covalent bonds with one another.
How many elements of unsaturation do molecules with a molecular formula of c6h6cl6 have?
