    Denatured alcohol is ethanol that has additives to make it undrinkable (poisonous), to discourage recreational consumption. Different additives are used to make it difficult to use distillation or other simple processes to reverse the denaturation. Methanol is commonly used both because its boiling point is close to that of ethanol and because it is toxic.

    All elements will be monatomic in the gas phase at sufficiently high temperatures. At standard temperature and pressure (STP), all of the noble gases are monatomic. These are helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon. Monatomic hydrogen comprises about 75% of the elemental mass of the universe.
