All the elements are present in sea water in various quantities, but the most common ones (the ones responsible for its saltiness) are sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and aluminum from the metals; chlorine, fluorine, phosphorus, and sulfur for the non-metals. Not to mention hydrogen and oxygen, since that's what water is made of.

How many elements have been identified in seawater?
55
What are two major sources of the elements in seawater?
These elements are transported by rivers to the sea. Another source is the volcanic activity.
The dissolved materials in seawater are thought to originate from?
outgassing of elements from Earth's interior.
What happens when the two most abundant elements are combined from seawater?
You think probable to sodium chloride (NaCl).
What is produced in dissolved seawater when the two most abundant elements are combined?
You think probable to sodium chloride (NaCl).
Is there ninety elements extracted from seawater?
In any given sample of seawater, you will probably find all 90 elements, but some of them are going to be in extremely minute quantities.

Why is seawater not suitable for use in chemical analysis?
It is an impure substance. It contains a mixture of water, salt and other elements found in the sea. Using seawater can produce incorrect results as elements in seawater can react with other things.
What is the second major source of elements of seawater?
Earth's interior
What are the most abundant elements in seawater?
saltand water lol that was funny

Which property is responsible for seawater containing over twenty different elements?
Its a universal solvent
What is the principal source of dissolved substance in ocean?
Chemical weathering of rocks on the continents is one source of elements found in seawater. The second major source of elements found in seawater is from earth's interior. Through volcanic eruptions, large quantities of water vapor and other gases have been emitted into the atmosphere.
Are sea water air and water elements?
No. Seawater and air are mixtures. Water by itself is a compound.
What elements are contained in water?
There are many elements that are contained in seawater. Some examples include magnesium, sulfur, selenium, silicon, fluorine, sodium, and chlorine.
