An element is a substance made from only one type of atom. Remember this definition as you might need it in the exam! For example Carbon is made entirely from carbon atoms. Sodium is made entirely from sodium atoms. Unlike a compound, an element cannot be broken down (chemically) into a more simple substance. The periodic table shows all the elements. Atoms of the same element have the same number of protons and therefore have the same atomic number.
Definition of Metals. Elements that form cations when compounds of it are in solution and oxides of the elements form hydroxides rather than acids in water. Most metals are conductors of electricity, have crystalline solids with a metallic luster and have a high chemical reactivity.
