How many so many different substances in the world be made of so few elements?
Because the earth is made of tiny bits of elements and only few!(:
How many different substances can be made with four elements?
It depends on the elements! If two of them are carbon and hydrogen, hundreds of compounds can be made from these elements alone. If the four elements are all noble gases, no new substances can be made from them by chemical reaction.

Are compounds pure substances made from other substances?
Compounds are comprised of different elements, for example water, H2O is a compound formed by the elements Hydrogen and Oxygen.
How are elements and compound different?
Elements are made up of only one thing. While a compound is made of two of more elements. Here is an example. H2O. Water is hydrogen and oxygen.
How is it possible for a liquid to be made of elements that are gases at room temperature?
elements can combine to form new substances with different properties.

How can there be so many different kinds of substances in the world?
There are so many different atoms or atoms with different numbers of protons which makes different elements or different substances. Everything is chemical and made up of chemical reactions. And the chemicals are all made up of atoms. Atoms combine to form elements, and elements combine to make up compounds and mixtures. For example, water. Hydrogen, an element itself, combines itself to another chemicals, which is Oxygen, to make a compound. Which gives you the result with water. Everything in the world is made up of chemical reactions. Some come naturally and most are made with mixtures and compounds. As you may know, there are tons of individual elements and when they are combine into bigger compounds they turn into substances like liquid, gas, or solid. It's all part of chemical reactions.
What is classification of substance?
Substances can be classified as elements, compounds, or mixtures. Elements are made up of only one type of atom, compounds are made up of two or more different elements chemically bonded together, and mixtures are combinations of two or more substances that are not chemically bonded.
Are most substances elements?
All substances are MADE FROM elements but they are not elements. For example CH4 is made of one carbon atom and four Hydrogen atoms. Carbon and Hydrogen are pure elements but CH4 is not an element.
What elements made out of?
Elements (like, on the periodic table) are pure substances. ( they're made of themselves
What are compounds and elements called?
substances
