An element is a chemical/substance/etc that cannot be broken down any further - that is to say that water can be broken down into Hydrogen and Oxygen, but neither Hydrogen nor Oxygen can be broken down - hence they are Elements.

There are over 100 elements known to man and what makes an element that specific element is the number of protons in the atoms nucleus. Helium has 2 protons in its nucleus. Hydrogen has 1 proton, Oxygen has 8, Carbon has 6. To know how many protons are in an elements atom's nucleus, look at the Periodic Table of Elements and the element's atomic number is the number of protons in the atoms nucleus.
