Answer 2

Many, many, elements. Every time we breathe in air, we breathe in the diatomic molecule of N2, which is composed of nitrogen. Nitrogen molecules are the primary substances present in air. O2 molecules, which are oxygen, make up the part of the air that our body uses when we breathe. Nitrogen is rather inert, and is unchanged. We also breathe in a small amount of Carbon, present in the CO2 molecules in the air.

We see Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen in the sugars (carbohydrates) present in much of the food we consume; an example being glucose (C6H12O6), one of the most common monosaccharides.

The element Aluminum (Al) is commonly used for phone cases. We use Gold (Au) and Silver (Ag) in jewelry and computers. We use steel, which is primarily composed of Iron (Fe) in skyscrapers, knives, and car chassis. We use Copper (Cu) in electrical wires.

Any time we see or use wood, we are encountering a complex mixture of volatile organic compounds, primarily composed of Carbon, Oxygen, and Hydrogen. (Hydrocarbons are the primary substance that we use to harness energy through combustion, seen commonly in oil and gasoline.) There are also many trace elements in wood, such as Sulphur, Calcium, and Chlorine.

Calcium salts are what make our bones sturdy.

Sulphur is part of the gas that makes rotten eggs smell bad.

This is just a short list, but hopefully you get the idea. Having a basic grasp on chemistry is an important skill to have, as we encounter chemicals and elements every day.
