No.
Only about 100 of the million known substances are classified as elements because an element is defined as a pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means. Elements consist of atoms with a specific number of protons in their nuclei, which defines their chemical properties. In contrast, most known substances are compounds or mixtures, consisting of combinations of different elements bonded together. Thus, while there are countless compounds and mixtures, the fundamental building blocks, or elements, remain limited.
As of October 2023, there are over 100 million unique chemical substances that have been positively identified, according to databases like the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS). This includes a vast array of organic and inorganic compounds, as well as polymers and biological molecules. The number continues to grow as research and discovery in chemistry advance.
There are at least five million distinct chemical compounds known. This compares to only 91 naturally occurring elements and about thirty more synthetic elements.

There's only 92 natural elements, but there are 28 man-made elements for a total of 120.
Scientists have identified and named around 1.7 million species of organisms, but it is estimated that there may be anywhere from 8.7 million to over 1 trillion total species on Earth.
Over 1.5 million species have been identified and described by scientists, but it is estimated that there could be anywhere from 5 million to over 100 million total species on Earth, with many still waiting to be discovered and classified. Each year, new species are being discovered in various ecosystems around the world.
The Thames has been identified to be 58 million years old
A relatively small number of elements, around 90 out of the over 100 naturally occurring elements on the periodic table, are used to make up millions of compounds. This is due to the unique chemical properties of these elements, which allow for a wide variety of combinations and bonds to form between them, resulting in the vast number of compounds that exist.
How many species are in the world?Estimates range from 5 to 100 million; but science has only identified 2 million.

The 2019-2020 Australian bushfire season has been identified as the longest wildfire event in the world, lasting for several months and burning over 18 million hectares of land.
