Hey! There aren’t any elements in electricity, however electricity is made from tiny parts of atoms called electrons. Sometimes these electrons leave behind the rest of the atoms and if lots of electrons do this it can create an electric charge!
Electricity is the flow of electrons but the electrons are part of the atoms that make up the wire. The electrons pass from atom to atom and transfer the charge as it goes.
Hi Phoebe! William and Aimee already gave you very good answers.
Electricity is a form of energy and does not contain elements. It occurs in nature, so it was not “invented”. In about 600 BC, the Ancient Greeks discovered that rubbing fur on amber (fossilized tree resin) caused an attraction between the two – and so what the Greeks discovered was actually static electricity.
