Charge density waves in transition metal dichalcogenides have been intensively studied for their close correlation with Mott insulator, charge-transfer insulator, and superconductor. VTe2 monolayer recently comes into sight because of its prominent electron correlations and the mysterious origin of CDW orders. As a metal of more than one type of charge density waves, it involves complicated electron-electron and electronphonon interactions. Through a scanning tunneling microscopy study, we observed triple-Q 𝟒 × 𝟒 and single-Q 𝟒 × 𝟏 modulations with significant charge and orbital separation. The triple-Q 𝟒 × 𝟒 order arises strongly from the p-d hybridized states, resulting in a charge distribution in agreement with the V-atom clustering model. Associated with a lower Fermi level, the local single-Q 𝟒 × 𝟏 electronic pattern is generated with the p-d hybridized states remaining 𝟒 × 𝟒 ordered. In the spectroscopic study, orbital-and atomic-selective chargedensity-wave gaps with the size up to ~𝟒𝟎𝟎 𝒎𝒆𝑽 were resolved on the atomic scale.
