### Explanation

You will categorize each substance based on its chemical nature:

1. **atomic element**: Single atoms not bonded to others, e.g., noble gases like Helium (He).
2. **molecular element**: Consists of molecules of a single element, generally in diatomic form, e.g., O₂.
3. **molecular compound**: Made of molecules formed by atoms of two or more different elements, e.g., H₂O.
4. **ionic compound**: Consists of positive and negative ions, usually a metal and a non-metal, e.g., NaCl.
