Sulfuric acid
9 linksSulfuric acid (American spelling and the preferred IUPAC name) or sulphuric acid (Commonwealth spelling), known in antiquity as oil of vitriol, is a mineral acid composed of the elements sulfur, oxygen and hydrogen, with the molecular formula H2SO4.

The history of the discovery and use of the elements began with primitive human societies that discovered native minerals like carbon, sulfur, copper and gold (though the concept of a chemical element was not yet understood).
Natural gas

Hydrogen sulfide (which may be converted into pure sulfur), carbon dioxide, water vapor, and sometimes helium and nitrogen must also be removed.
Amino acid
4 linksAmino acids are organic compounds that contain amino (\sNH3+) and carboxylic acid (\sCO2H) functional groups, along with a side chain (R group) specific to each amino acid.
Amino acids are organic compounds that contain amino (\sNH3+) and carboxylic acid (\sCO2H) functional groups, along with a side chain (R group) specific to each amino acid.
The elements present in every amino acid are carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), and nitrogen (N) (CHON); in addition sulfur (S) is present in the side chains of cysteine and methionine, and selenium (Se) in the less common amino acid selenocysteine.

Fourteen effectively always recognized as such are hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur; the corrosive halogens fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine; and the noble gases helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon; see e.g. Larrañaga et al. While the same authors recognized carbon, phosphorus and selenium as nonmetals, Vernon had earlier reported that these three elements were instead sometimes counted as metalloids.
Pyrite
