I would imagine you mean water, air earth and fire....that was just what the Greek philosopher Plato thought. The only elements are on the Periodic Table for example, helium, gold, Mercury and over 100 others. The definition of an element is having one type of atom. earth, water, fire, and air all have multiple kinds of atoms. Common mistake, the real major groups are metals, semimetals, nonmetals, and noble gases.
