element – substance made of only one type of matter
element – substance made of only one type of matter
atom – the smallest part of an element
atom – the smallest part of an element
metal – elements that conduct heat or electricity, have a
shiny luster, or can be hammered into sheets
metal – elements that conduct heat or electricity, have a
shiny luster, or can be hammered into sheets
metalloids – a group of elements that have some of the
properties of metals but are not (the “almost metals”)
metalloids – a group of elements that have some of the
properties of metals but are not (the “almost metals”)
nonmetals– elements that are not metals
nonmetals– elements that are not metals
conductor- material through which heat, cold, and
electricity flow
conductor- material through which heat, cold, and
electricity flow
luster – the shine or reflection used to classify metals
luster – the shine or reflection used to classify metals
Remember:
-Matter is the “stuff” that makes up nonliving things
-All nonliving things are made of elements.
-Elements are the building blocks of matter.
-Elements can be solid, liquid, and gas.
Ex: solids – gold, copper, iron, aluminum
liquids – mercury
gases – oxygen, helium, neon
-Water, carbon dioxide, plastic, and glass are not elements
because they are made up of a mixture of other elements.
-The chart that has all of the elements listed in order is
called the Periodic Table of Elements.
