Elementkolleksjon

Elementkolleksjon is a Norwegian term that refers to an organized collection of elements. The word combines element with kolleksjon, the latter meaning collection. The phrase is generic and non-technical by itself and is used in various contexts to describe a grouping of elements that share a common property or purpose.

In chemistry and education, an elementkolleksjon may be a physical kit or display featuring chemical elements or informational cards. Such collections are used for teaching, museum exhibits, or self-study, and typically include data such as atomic number, symbol, and atomic mass, along with basic properties. The collection is arranged to illustrate relationships among elements, such as periodic trends or classification by metal and nonmetal.

In information technology and data management, the term can describe a collection of elements stored in a data structure. Depending on context, it may refer to a list, set, or map of items, with common operations like add, remove, contains, and iterate. The concept emphasizes that the elements belong to the same data domain or meet a specified criterion.

In culture and games, elementkolleksjon may denote a mechanic where players collect elemental items or powers—fire, water, earth, air, or other thematic elements. Such collections are often used to unlock abilities, trade with others, or complete quotas within a game or interactive experience.
