What are the characteristics of an element?

Answer 1

There are both physical characteristics and chemical characteristics associated with each of the one hundred and some odd known elements. Each question is covered separately, and you'll find them linked below.

To discover the characteristics of a given element, use the search window above to see what is posted for that element.

An element is a substance made up of only one type of atom. It cannot be simplified any further; you can't split up an element. See periodictable.com for the elements discovered.

Answer 2

The chemical elements have both physical characteristicsand chemical characteristics. Each element has a set of each type of characteristics, and to discover them all, it is necessary to go through the Periodic Table element by element. (The limits of this forum probably won't allow posting all of them.) During a review, the investigator will be able to skim the two types of characteristics for each element.

A link can be found below to an interactive periodic table where each "tile" representing an element is a link to a post on that element. A fairly good body of facts is posted for each element, and it is wise to at least look at the table and perhaps bookmark it.

Answer 3

Elements are pure substances made up of only one type of atom. They are arranged on the periodic table based on their atomic number. Each element has distinct chemical properties, such as reactivity and bonding capabilities, that are determined by the number of protons and electrons in its atoms.

Answer 4

I read that the characteristics of an element is hydrogen.

Answer 5

They cannot be broken down into any stable substances by chemical means

Answer 6

The characteristics of elements varies. It depends on the element.

Answer 7

Elements have several special characteristics. They have a symbol, a mass, and an atomic number. They all have certain numbers of electrons, protons, and neutrons.

Answer 8
