A chemical element is a material consisting of one type of atom, such as hydrogen, oxygen, or iron. There are over 90 naturally occuring elements, and many more that are synthesized. There are over 323 elements in all. Elements occur in four different states: solid, liquid, gaseous and as plasma. Elements can also exist, composed of antiparticles, as antimatter.
