The main distinction is into metals and non-metals.
The following elements can be found in the 0 oxidation state in nature
helium, nitrogen, oxygen, neon, sulfur, argon, copper, krypton, silver, xenon, gold, platinum constitute the main bulk on the planet earth
there are 18 elements in the periodic table

Elements in the same family, or group, have similar physical and chemical properties.
Quicksilver is the same thing as the element Mercury and therefore has the same properties as this element.
The smallest particle of an element that has the properties of that element is called an atom.

The smallest unit of an element that maintains the properties of that element is the atom.
The atom is the smallest unit of an element that has all the properties of the element.
Elements in the same family, or group, have similar physical and chemical properties.
The element that would have properties most similar to the new element would be an element that lies in the same group as the new element. Specifically, the element with the most similar properties will lie directly above or below that element in the group.
there is no such element
the most important properties in an element is state at room tempreture
Quicksilver is the same thing as the element Mercury and therefore has the same properties as this element.
The smallest particle of an element that has the properties of that element is called an atom.
The smallest particle that retains the properties of an element is an atom. Quarks and leptons are just a family of elementary particles and do not carry any properties of the element.
