NoAlloys are mixtures of metallic elements or metals with other elements (steel is an alloy that can be a mixture of iron and carbon).Rocks are minerals, these are components of the earth and need not contain any metallic elements at all.
the five elements of the earth are: Fire Water Wind Earth Gases
All those metals are considered to be Earth Elements, or substances that can be found on Earth and are pure since they can not be broken down into any other substances.
These things were considered by the Ancient Greeks to be the elements which made up (in different proportions) all matter.
