Is everything in the world made out of chemical compounds?

Question

i know this might sound like a silly question.

but i was thinking today, as i was driving.... and it occured to me.

EVERYTHING is made out of (and i might not have the literal term correct; i dont know if its called compound or element, or what?) but everything is made out of some combination of those little things from the chart in chemistry class ---right?

even plastic, and... paint?

everything has an origin so it must have a "make up"

Do plants have the same kind of make up? or do we?

idk. i just dont remember that stuff from chem class.

ok, anyone who wants to talk about this nerdy stuff w me???? lol

Answer 1

Yes, with exceptions, everything you see, touch, are made up of, is a compound (combination of elements). The exceptions are the noble gases, the oxygen and nitrogen in the air, and sometimes gold, in nature.

Out in space, it's different, but I'm just answering your question about the world.

Answer 2

Everthing physical is atoms.

But thoughts, speeches, concepts, ideas, etc are non-physical.
