Um.. I'm guessing a metal by itself (e.g. not a molecule)

Metal not combined with any other element. This could include just metal atoms (e.g Fe), or molecules formed completely out fo the same metal molecule, such as phosphorous which can form molecules of 5 P atoms

Phosphorous is a non-metal.

Elemental metals are anything that exhibit metallic bonding and are elementally pure.
