- Don't confuse 'elements' with chemicals. Water and air usually aren't
- considered chemicals. The term 'chemical' is usually meant to mean man
- made combinations. Salt would probably be considered as a mineral,
- as it is an existing combination that is mined. Salt, as it occurs
- naturaly in some items would not be considered a chemical - that term
- is usually used to refer to additives.
