You are pre-initializing ele with a zero, that's why it gets stored in ASCII in every loop iteration. I would change your code to the following:

nbr_elem = input('Enter the total number of elements in the molecule: ');

ele = [];
occ = zeros(1, nbr_elem) %it is good practise to pre-initialize arrays with their full size
for x = 1:nbr_elem
    ele = [ele, input('Enter an element: ','s')];
    occ(x) = input('Enter the element''s occurrence in the molecule: ');
end

Also, I would suggest using

 while ~strcmp(ele(x), table_periodique(j(x),2))

in your while loop instead of ~= There is also no need to index j(x), you can just set j = 1. Hope this helps!
