The epistemology of any scientific concept acquires its full meaning taking into account the problem that made its conceptualization possible at a given historical moment and its subsequent development. The objective of this article will be to recall the problem that originated the epistemological need to introduce the idea of the chemical element throughout history and how it has developed until the 18th century to influence the epistemology of the concept of (pure) substance and how its relationship with the chemical element changed.
