Answer:
An element is a substance composed of a single type of atom. Hydrogen (element symbol H) and oxygen (element symbol O) are examples of elements. You may have heard water called “H2O.” The name refers to the chemical formula of water, H2O. So, water is made from elements but is not itself an element.
Before people knew about atoms and molecules, water was considered to be an element. Other “elements” included fire, earth, air, and sometimes metal, wood, or spirit. Some traditional practices still consider water to be an element, but this is different from the scientific definition.
