How many elements make up a molecule?

Hannah Peereboom says: that NaCl is salt. 2 atoms make up NaCl, salt, and if salt was composed of more atoms it would end up, as an example, Na2Cl3, 2 sodium atoms and 3 chlorine atoms, or something.It really depends on what the molecule is. Water is made up of two different elements: hydrogen and oxygen. Rubbing alcohol, on the other hand, is made up of three elements: hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen. Amino acids can be made up of as many as 5 elements (like in Methionine or Cysteine). However, you should be able to distinguish how many ATOMS are in a molecule as well. For example, as in water, there are 3 total ATOMS, but 2 different ELEMENTS (2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen). Rubbing alcohol has 12 total atoms, but 3 different elements present (3 carbons, 1 oxygen, and 8 hydrogens).

No. An element is a group of the same kind of atoms. Compounds and mixtures contain different kinds of atoms, and thus, different kinds of elements.However, there are several things that are not made up of atoms. This includes light, different kinds energy, neutron stars, black holes... and the mysterious dark matter. The Universe contains at least 5 times as much dark matter, than atoms and other kinds of known matter.
