The term "Organic" refers to something that is or was living. The elements have never been living, nor will they ever be in the future. Elements might be part of a compound that is located in living things.

Added: Na, sodium, is an element and inorganic. Organic compounds are based on carbon hydrogen bonding and have nothing to do with living, per se. CH4, methane, is an organic molecule. One element standing alone can not be an organic molecule and just because something contains carbon (CO2--not organic ) does not make it an organic molecule. C-H is required.
