well it is either metal, nonmetal, metalloids. a metal is shiny, conducts heat well, conducts electricity well and malleable. non metal is dull, poor conductor of heat, poor conductor of electricity, and brittle. metalloids has some shine, somewhat malleable, semi- conductor of heat, semi-conductor of electricity.
Examine it's physical and chemical properties.
For example
Examination of physical properties like melting point, boiling point we just simply heat them up or cool them down at the reference Pressure.

In 1789 Lavoisier published his Elementary Treatise of Chemistry in which he identified oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, phosphorus, Mercury, zinc and sulphur as substances which could not be broken down further - that is, they were identified as elements.
118 atoms/elements.
A periodic table can predict elements that are not yet confirmed or identified.
The individual elements are usually identified by the distinctive characteristics. They can be identified by touch and by sight.

Elements in the table are identified by different things. What they are made of, atomic mass, and atomic number. Elements can also be identified by what state of matter they are at zero degrees Celsius and standard pressure which 1atm. The most current, standard table has 117 different elements.
they dont because they dont talk
The elements are identified by atomic number. The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in each atom of the element. Of course the elements are usually identified their symbols, which are arbitrary.
There are different ways through which elements can be . The most common in by looking at their properties as well as the number of protons and neutrons that they have.
