An element is one of 115 on the Periodic Table. A liquid is made up of atoms, of a specific element, or compound of elements, loosely compacted together. There is gaps enough between the atoms, that they can slide past each other. In this case element is the simplest form of matter. However, an element is made up of one atom of that element, which contains protons, neutrons and electrons, specific to the elements placement on the periodic table. (Hydrogen is 1, therefore it has one proton and one electron. Further in, protons, electrons and neutrons can be comprised of quarks, neutrinos etc. but this is higher level physics and chemistry.
