Good job not understanding anything about the physical world.
did you mean "element" rather than "atom"...atoms are pretty small as far as the physical world is concerend.
And did you mean that the Analysis only "sees" which particular "elements" are in the sample, rather than the "compound", which isn't table salt ?
What's that about the physical world ?
He doesn't know an atom, from a molecule, or an ionic bond from a covalent bond, but he's here to tell us that my oil is not salty.
