All chemicals aren't elements they only have elements in them and even then they are ions. Ions are charged particles e.g. Na+ or S2-. So chemicals like NaCl (table salt) have Na the element but it has lost an electron so it is a positive ion Na+ and Cl the element but it has gained and electron so it is Cl-.
So in conclusion chemicals aren't elements they are compounds with ions in them
(A element on them own is very rare, e.g you will nearly always find and element mixed with something else naturally, the only ones that don't like to mix are the noble gases on the very far right of the Periodic Table usually dark green and these don't mike because they have full valence electrons)

Do elements contain chemicals?
Elements do not contain chemical, but chemicals contain elements. Elements are singular things with a set of properties all their own. There are currently 118 different known elements. Chemicals, which there are thousands of, are made up of two or more elements. Na is sodium(poisonous) and Cl is chlorine(also poisonous). When these two elements combine, you get NACl, which is table salt(not poisonous) and has properties completely different than the two individual elements.
Can chemicals change by being combined with other chemicals?
Chemicals yes, elements however, no. Elements are themselves chemicals, Burn hydrogen in oxygen and you'll end up with water, another chemical.
Did alchemists know what elements were?
No. Only chemicals.
Is carbon and nitrogen chemicals?
Carbon and nitrogen are chemical elements.
How chemicals build up?
Any chemical is composed from chemical elements.
How do you know it is a chemical?
All substances which are not pure elements are chemicals.
Are ammonia and isopropanol chemicals?
Yes, ammonia and isopropanol are chemicals; all the universe is a mixture of elements and chemical compounds.
What chemicals are in?
Chemicals are made from chemical elements.

How does an organism show evidence of the chemicals of life?
All organisms are composed of the chemicals of life. This includes carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and the many compounds made from these elements.
What and what work together to constantly wear down and carry away rocks on the surface of Earth?
Usually it is erosion by natural elements (wind, rain, excessive water), or chemicals (natural chemicals will break down all elements in a matter of time).
What is all the chemicals?
A very short answer: a chemical (chemical compound, substance) is a combination of two or more chemical elements.
