It was thought that the four basic elements were earth, air, water, and fire.
Aristotle believed that all matter was made up of four elements: earth, air, fire, and water. These elements combined in different proportions to form everything in the natural world.
Empedocles was a Greek pre-Socratic philosopher and poet from Acragas (Agrigento), Sicily. He is known for his cosmology, which included the theory of the four classical elements (earth, air, fire, and water) and the belief in the transmigration of souls. Empedocles also proposed that everything in the universe is made up of these four elements.
Molecules are made from combinations of the basic elements. There are tens of thousands of different molecules on earth.
An atom is the basic particle from which elements are made :D
The belief that all matter is made up of the four elements (earth, air, fire, water) was a concept proposed by ancient Greek philosophers, such as Empedocles. They believed that these elements combined and interacted to form all substances in the world. This theory was later replaced by the modern understanding of elements as defined by the periodic table in chemistry.
