We actually know a number of elements present on the [lunar](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon) surface including oxygen, silicon, iron, magnesium, calcium, aluminium, manganese and titanium. We have also observed that carbon and nitrogen have deposited over time from [solar wind](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_wind).
