[1913 Webster] |
Hydrargyrum
(gcide) | Element \El"e*ment\, n. [F. ['e]l['e]ment, L. elementum.]
1. One of the simplest or essential parts or principles of
which anything consists, or upon which the constitution or
fundamental powers of anything are based.
[1913 Webster]
2. One of the ultimate, undecomposable constituents of any
kind of matter. Specifically: (Chem.) A substance which
cannot be decomposed into different kinds of matter by any
means at present employed; as, the elements of water are
oxygen and hydrogen.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The elements are naturally classified in several
families or groups, as the group of the alkaline
elements, the halogen group, and the like. They are
roughly divided into two great classes, the metals, as
sodium, calcium, etc., which form basic compounds, and
the nonmetals or metalloids, as oxygen, sulphur,
chlorine, which form acid compounds; but the
distinction is only relative, and some, as arsenic,
tin, aluminium, etc., form both acid and basic
compounds. The essential fact regarding every element
is its relative atomic number, which is equal to the
number of protons in the nucleus, and also equal to the
number of electrons in orbitals around the nucleus when
the atom is neutral. When the elements are tabulated in
the order of their ascending atomic numbers, the
arrangement constitutes the series of the Periodic law
of Mendelejeff. See Periodic law, under Periodic.
This Periodic law enables us to predict the qualities
of unknown elements. The number of elements known in
1890 were about seventy-five, but at that time the gaps
in the Periodic law indicated the possibility of many
more. All of the elements up to atomic number 100 have
now been observed though some are radioactive and very
unstable, and in some cases cannot be accumulated in
quantity sufficient to actually see by eye. The
properties predicted by the periodic law wre close to
the observed properties in many cases. Additional
unstable elements of atomic number over 100 are
observed from time to time, prepared in cyclotrons,
particle acclerators, or nuclear reactors, and some of
their properties are measurable by careful observation
of microscopic quantities, as few as several atoms. For
such unstable elements, the properties are now
predicted primarily by calculations based on quantum
mechanics. Such theories suggest that there may be an
"island" of relative stability of elements of atomic
number over 120, but this has yet to be confirmed by
experiment.
Many of the elements with which we are familiar, as
hydrogen, carbon, iron, gold, etc., have been
recognized, by means of spectrum analysis, in the sun
and the fixed stars. The chemical elements are now
known not be simple bodies, but only combinations of
subatomic particles such as protons, neutrons, and
electrons; ahd protons and neutrons are now believed to
be themselves combinations of quarks, particles which
are not observed singly, but only in combinations.
In formulas, the elements are designated by
abbreviations of their names in Latin or New Latin,
given in the table below. The atomic weights given in
the table below are the
chemical atomic weights, in some cases being the weighted
average of the atomic weights of individual isotopes, each
having a different atomic weight. The atomic weight of the
individual isotopes are called the physical atomic
weights. In those few cases where there is only one stable
isotope of an element, the chemical and physical atomic
weights are the same. The mass-spectrometric atomic
weights are those used for careful mass-spectrometric
measurements. For more details about individual elements,

Note: Several other elements have been announced, as holmium,
vesbium, austrium, etc., but their properties, and in
some cases their existence, have not yet been
definitely established.
[1913 Webster]
3. One of the ultimate parts which are variously combined in
anything; as, letters are the elements of written
language; hence, also, a simple portion of that which is
complex, as a shaft, lever, wheel, or any simple part in a
machine; one of the essential ingredients of any mixture;
a constituent part; as, quartz, feldspar, and mica are the
elements of granite.
[1913 Webster]
The simplicity which is so large an element in a
noble nature was laughed to scorn. --Jowett
(Thucyd.).
