An element is a type of atom, determined by the number of protons that it has (also known as its atomic number). As of 2008, 117 elements have been observed. 94 of these are naturally-occurring on Earth.
The term element does not imply a particular number of atoms, though often it is used to describe a single atom.

∙ 11y agoThe Periodic Table contains all of the known elements, which are arranged according to increasing atomic number (number of protons). The most basic periodic table includes the element names and symbols, their atomic numbers, and their atomic weights. The elements are arranged in 18 groups/families according to similarities in their electron configurations.

What does water and wind have to do together?
their both elements required for erosion/corrosion and they both contain h2o
What elements are in cream?
Cream is a mixture of milk fat, water, and proteins. These organic compounds contain these elements:carbonhydrogennitrogenoxygenThere may be small quantities of other elements in the proteins.
How are cells related to elements?
They are built of complex hydrocarbons and trace minerals, and contain water, all of which are chemical compounds (of elements). They also need oxygen - itself an element.
Is rocks a element?
Rocks are usually not elements, but they contain elements.
Does an aqueous solution of a base contain only two different elements?
No, a base can have many different elements forming it. Water already has two elements, oxygen and hydrogen, so anything aqueous solution adds to that number.
Does every element on the periodic table contain water?
No- none of them contain water at all. Water is made up from one hydrogen atom and two oxygen atoms, which are both elements. No element can contain water, as water is made up from elements.
How many elements does h2so have?
A compound with the chemical formula H2SO is not known. Water (H2O) contain two elements. Sulfurous acid (H2SO3) contain three elements. ...etc.
What minerals are in a hurricane?
Hurricanes don't contain elements - only water and water vapor.
Does oxygen and nitrogen contain water?
No; oxygen, nitrogen, and water are all separate elements.
Does ice contain elements?
Ice is solid water. Water is a chemical compound, with the formula H2O, which contains atoms of the elements Hydrogen and Oxygen.
What element has water in it?
Water is a coumpound made up of two elements, hydrogen and oxygen, which makes the most basic unit of water a molecule, not an atom, which is the most basic form of an elements, so no elements contain water.
What are two elements inside H2O?
Water (H2O) contain hydrogen and oxygen.
What are some liquids that do not contain water?
Well, it depends. There are the elements like mercury and bromine, but they're elements. Other things such as mercury nitrate (Hg2NO3) and potassium chromate (K2CrO4) don't contain water, but they are aqueous solutions.
What is a type of molecule?
A molecule contain chemical elements associated by chemical bonds.
What elements do hydrocarbons contain?
The elements that hydrocarbons contain are: -Hydrogen -Carbons
What does the earth contain of?
