Question image

What is an element?

1

A substance that is made up of one type of atom and can't be reduced to simpler substances.

2

A substance made of two or more different atoms chemically bonded to one another. They can only be destroyed by chemical processes.

3

A material containing two or more elements or compounds that are in close contact and are mixed in any proportion. They can be separated by physical means.

Physical Properties of Metals

  • Luster - Shines, reflects light

  • Great Conductivity - How well electricity and heat travels through the element

  • Malleable - Can be beaten into different shapes without breaking

  • Ductile - Turned into wires

  • Solid at room temperature - Except for Mercury
