No. Everything is made up of atoms, and an atom always has a certain number of protons, which defines what element it is.

Electron, protons, and neutrons aren't made up of elements.

Do all materials contain oxygen and silicon?

Not all materials contain oxygen and silicon. These elements are commonly found in minerals and rocks, but there are many other types of materials, such as metals, plastics, and organic compounds, that do not contain oxygen and silicon as primary components.


Are all materials made up of elements?

Any material that you encounter on earth is made of an element or some combination of elements. An element is just the name of a substance that contains just one type of atom. An atom is just a specific combination of neutrons, protons, and electrons; atoms/elements are defined in the Periodic Table according to their atomic number, which is the number of protons in their nucleus. So every material you encounter is some combination of electrons, protons or neutrons unless you are encountering some very high energy phenomena. A material which is not made of elements could be pure electrons. Although close to impossible to isolate (they repel each other so strongly), pure electrons would not be an element. Electricity in a wire would not count because this is just a wire, with some electrons flowing through it and those electrons make up the elements in the wire. A material which is not made of elements could be a plasma. A plasma from Hydrogen in which all electrons and protons are disassociated may be considered not of an element (although not all plasma's would meet this condition and even then you could still consider this plasma an ionized Hydrogen). Very high energy phenomena, such as those in particle accelerators and the early universe, create fundamental particles and plasmas which are certainly not elements (like a quark-gluon plasma). There is basically no material that you could encounter and live to tell that tale that is not made up of some combination of elements.


Is fairy liquid made up of any elements?

Yes, Fairy Liquid, a brand of dishwashing liquid, is made up of different elements and compounds. Its main ingredients typically include water, surfactants, preservatives, fragrances, and colorants.


What is the compound sugar made of Are any of these ingredients sweet to the taste Do any of these elements have any taste at all?

Compound sugars are made of two or more types of sugar molecules bonded together. These sugars can be sweet to the taste depending on the types and proportions of sugars present. Each sugar component contributes to the overall taste, but some may be sweeter or less sweet than others.


Magnet made with iron nickel or cobalt?

A magnet made with any of those elements would be called a ferromagnet. Certain combinations of metals or alloys are called by names that more distinctly identify them. For example, the alnico magnet (made from aluminum, nickel and cobalt) is one of the strongest magnetic alloys known.
