What are the only two elements that are liquid at 25 and deg C as room temperature?

Does periodic table of elements has something to do with trace elements in human body?
Yes. It is very interesting to note that the elements with atomic number from 24 to 30 are very important trace elements in human body and probably for all animal and plant cells. So you have Cromium (24), Manganese (25), Iron (26), Cobalt (27), Nickel (28), Copper (29) and zinc (30) as trace elements. In this Iron is generally not considered as trace element. But then requirement of Iron per day is only 3 mg.
Can elements be created in the body?
No, it is impossible. It is impossible for elements (matter) to be created by a human. The only new elements that are formed are in the center of stars where atomic nuclei merge. The human body does, however, take many elements and form numerous compounds.
What are the elements of the body?
The elements of the body are:Carbon, nitrogen,and oxygen
What are the elements only found in protein?
The elements found only in proteins are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. These elements are essential for the structure and function of proteins, which are key molecules in the body for growth, repair, and maintenance.
How many elements in the human body?

Why do all the elements operate on a stove at half power?
Chances are that the elements have gotten old and the deterioration has caused it to heat up only to half power. New elements will run you around $25 each. (Depending on stove)
