Diatomic molecules are those that are capable of forming a bond with themselves.

There are currently 7 diatomic elements, they are:

Hydrogen → H

Oxygen → O

Nitrogen→ N

Fluorine → F

Chlorine → Cl

Bromine → Br

Iodine → I

In this order of ideas, the element that is not capable of forming a bond with itself is Neon, this is a practically inert noble gas, since it has its two complete energy levels.

So, the answer will be Neon
