Abstract: Throughout history, mankind has continuously explored the realms of matter and life, from the smallest dust particles to the vast expanses of the universe. Through systematic exploration, it has been revealed that the complex world we inhabit is constructed from 118 chemical elements, arranged and combined according to specific rules. As the fundamental building blocks of all matter, the chemical elements hold secrets that have been gradually unveiled through their origin, cognitive understanding, and applications across different periods. This paper aims to uncover the mysteries surrounding chemical elements from various perspectives.

Key words: Chemical elements, Origin of elements, Cognitive understanding, Periodic table, Applications across different periods
