Elements
All matter, both living and nonliving, is made up of certain basic substances called elements. Elements are substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances with different properties (such as density, solubility, melting point, and reactivity) by ordinary chemical means. There are only 92 naturally occurring elements that serve as the building blocks of matter. Other elements are man-made and therefore are not biologically important
