Answer:

Although there are only 118 elements that have been discovered and entered in the Periodic Table, there is an almost infinite multiplicity of things, materials, resources and other objects in the universe.

This is so because each of these elements can be combined with the others, varying its proportion and the inclusion of different elements, forming different things according to the proportion in which each element has been used.
