nitrogen, oxygen, carbon,hydrogen and halogens
currently we use mass spectroscopy
nitrogen by kjeldals method,
oxygen by Grignards reagent
halogen by carius method
hydrogen by LiAlH4
carbon by other methods

(sorry, there are six now, couldn't choose between P and S, so ... )
P > S since P is present in all nucleic acids, which are present in large quantities, while S is only present in select amino acids in select proteins. I'd go with CHOPN.

carbon and hydrogen Organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen.
Why organic compound fused with sodium metal?
It is for the detection of some specific elements in organic compound, in organic compounds elements are bonded through covalent bonds and are not free to move, when organic compounds are fused with sodium metal the elements form ionic compounds with sodium and become free ions in aqueous solution therefore easily may be detected with the help of suitable reagents.
What elements are in the organic compounds?
All organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen as a minimum. Other elements are found in some organic compounds such as oxygen, nitrogen or sulphur.
