element.noun,.plural.elements
elements are things that are used to make or that already constitute something (the kids used sand at the beach to make a sand castle; the elements of a successful dinner meal always include love); a fundamental, essential.or.irreducible.constituent of a composite.entity (the elements of water are hydrogen and oxygen); an element is a basic.irreducible part of anything (the elements of life providing security and stability); a substance that can't be split into simpler substances, yet however can be converted and also created new; elements are the basic assumptions or principles of a subject; elements are the forces that constitute the weather, especially severe or inclement weather (outside paint that had been damaged by the elements); an environment naturally suited.to or associated with an individual (he is in his element when traveling, the business world is her element); a distinct group within a larger community (the dissident element on campus)
synonyms.component, constituent, factor, ingredient (the grammatical elements of a sentence; jealousy is a component of her present character; melody and harmony are two of the constituents of a musical composition; ambition is a key factor in her success; humor is an effective ingredient of a speech).

Presently are known 114 kinds of substances that constitute all matter at and above the level of atoms, which are the smallest units of any matter called an element. There are other tinier bits of matter. Some are called neutrinos, leptons, gluons
quarks and there are others.

All atoms of an element are identical in nuclear charge (number of protons) and number of electrons (see atomic number), but their mass (atomic weight) may differ if they have different numbers of neutrons (see isotope). Each element has a one-or two-letter chemical symbol. Elements combine to form a wide variety of compounds. All elements with atomic numbers greater than 83 (bismuth), and some isotopes of lighter elements, are unstable and radioactive (see radioactivity). The transuranium elements, with atomic numbers greater than 92, artificially created by bombardment of other elements with neutrons or other particles, were discovered beginning in 1940. The most common elements, by weight, in Earth's crust are oxygen, 49%; silicon, 26%; aluminum, 8% and iron, 5%. Of the known elements, 11 (hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine {can be combined with other element[s] to produce the dangerous to human health, fluoride}, chlorine and the six noble gases), are gases under ordinary conditions, two of them, bromine and mercury, are liquids and two more, cesium and gallium, melt at about or just above room temperature and the rest are solids. See also periodic table just below. 

Electronic Configuration of the Elements

"Russian chemist Dmitry Mendeleyev.(1834-1907).proposed the periodic table of elements, which grouped elements in rows and columns by shared chemical properties. Each element received an atomic number corresponding to its atomic weight. Many elements were unknown in the middle of the 19th century when Mendeleyev made the configuration; subsequent discoveries have led to the completion of the table."....Microsoft® Encarta® Encyclopedia 99. © 1993-1998 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved..Nassim Haramein has created an updated Table of Elements that takes into consideration the discoveries of today.

Chemistry and Physics:.any substance that cannot be separated into different substances except by nuclear.disintegration. Elements in the Periodic Table.(see 'Periodic Table of the Elements' in an encyclopedia and under 'element' in a dictionary, see the Chemical Element Table in an encyclopedia for a list of these elements).are ranked by atomic number, as determined by the specific number of protons an element may have. Any more than 100 protons and their combined repulsive forces would disintegrate the atom. The elements exhibit designed structure

A single element can exist as several isotopes. Each element has a specific number of protons. Russian born physicist George Gamow believes that all elements came into existence at the same time the multiverse did. Cosmologist Fred Hoyle at Cambridge University, believes to the contrary that the elements became synthesized in stars, but the fact that there is far too much deuterium in the multiiverse we know of, tends to dispute that part of Hoyle's theory
Mathematics: 1) a member of a set; 2) a point, line or plane; 3) a part of a geometric configuration, such as an angle in a triangle 4) the generatrix of a geometric figure 5) any of the terms in the rectangular array of terms that constitute a matrix or determinant; a substance composed of atoms having an identical number of protons in each nucleus. Elements cannot be reduced to simpler substances by normal chemical means; one of four substances, Earth, air, fire or water, formerly regarded as a fundamental constituent of the universe
Electricity: an element is rhe resistance wire in an electrical appliance such as a heater or an oven

observer, all of material creation is nothing but the self experiencing itself through different qualities of its own attention to itself; the arrangement of particles makes the difference in what we see as animal, vegetable or mineral
