Compounds
The matter for most elements is a solid.

Most matter on Earth is made up of elements. Elements are substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means. Compounds are formed when different elements chemically combine together. Solutions are homogeneous mixtures where one substance is dissolved in another.
Matter is made up of elements and compounds, which are made up of atoms. But in an atom, most of the volume that it takes up is empty space. So all matter is mostly made up of empty space.
All matter is made up of tiny particles called atoms. These consist of quarks, electrons, gluons, and a few others that we know of.
The universe is around 70% dark energy (a.k.a. empty space). The rest is mostly dark matter, with a few percent for ordinary matter. That is the current scientific model.
Compounds are substances made up of two or more elements that are chemically bonded together. These elements combine in specific ratios to form distinct compounds with unique properties. Examples include water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2).
The basic matter of all is elements. In animals it is the cell.
Most elements exist in the state of matter known as solids at room temperature and pressure. Some elements can also exist as liquids or gases depending on the conditions.
There are more non-elements than elements. Elements are substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means, while non-elements can encompass a wide range of substances such as compounds, mixtures, and other forms of matter that are not elements.
Most of the elements in the Periodic Table of elements are metals. Also, most of them are made by nature. Elements with the atomic number of 1-91 are made by nature. Elements with the atomic number of 92-118 are man-made.
Elements are not made of other elements. They are made of protons, neutrons, and electrons. They all differ in configuration.
