No, he wasn't wrong, but your understanding of what he was saying is wrong. No one knows the day or hour (Matt 24:36, Matt 25:13). So, Peter certainly was not saying he knew that it was literally nearly about to happen. What he meant is that the end of all things was continually approaching and was certain to happen and could happen literally soon for all anyone knew, so be ready. Which is what he indicated in 2 Peter 3:10-12 as well. But, 2 Peter 3:10-12, which is a description of the event he had referred to in 1 Peter 4:7, has clearly not happened yet.What kind of elements do you think Peter is talking about? You can find what it means and how it's used here. Strong's Greek: 4747. στοιχεῖον (stoicheion) -- one of a row, hence a letter (of the alphabet), by ext. the elements (of knowledge)
As to physical elements, the most abundant elements in the universe are hydrogen(73%) and helium(25%) with melting points of -259 and -269 respectively.
In Peters first letter (1 Peter 4:7), he told them the end of all things was near. Was he wrong?
