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
chemistry.about.com/library/weekly/aa013103a.htm
"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®

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
elementary particle.noun,.plural.elementary
particles
a particle
consisting of one chemical element (hydrogen,
helium)
without magnitude.(measurable
importance or influence, more
on magnitude) though having
inertia.(a
tendency
to remain in a fixed condition without change, be it movement or rest)
and
the force of attraction; not
a
compound, but a
string of subatomic matter.(see 'anti
particle'; 'Standard Model');
we know they exist because they leave trails behind; interestingly, particles
only come into existence by the existence of the attention of the
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
