The one that is a trace element in the human body is zinc

Trace elements are those that are only required in a very small amount. This is the opposite of primary elements that composed most of the body. While the primary elements include:

  • Hydrogen
  • Carbon
  • Nitrogen
  • Oxygen
  • Sulfur

The trace elements include elements such as:

  • Zinc
  • Selenium
  • Iron
  • Cobalt
  • Manganese

In this context, zinc is a trace element because this is essential but it is required only in a small amount, while others such as nitrogen or hydrogen make up the majority of the body.
