Naturally occuring elements are made only of that element.
For example Nickel is made of Nickel and can't be broken down into anything else, same with oxygen, hydrogen and all of the other elements on the Periodic Table.
If you combine two or more different elements then you have made a compound.

Jenny S is right. The only way I can see for your question to make sense is to say that hydrogen (one proton, one electron) and helium (two protons, two neutrons, and two electrons) contain everything necessary to build all of the other elements, but that's really a stretch. You should go back and reread the question.

This question doesn't make sense. If you use multiple elements to make something, that something is a compound, not an element. Are you sure you're using the word "element" right?

Well if you're considering atomic fusion I'd say H and He.

rephrase this, because an element is in its purest form, periodic table.......it would be interesting if you rewrote it :)
