=Chemical Elements=

=A chemical element is a species of atoms having the same number of protons in their atomic nuclei. 118 elements are identified, of which the first 94 occur naturally on Earth with the remaining 24 being synthetic elements. There are three types of elements metals, non-metals, metalloid. The first kind which are metals, are solid type of element when freshly prepared, polished, or fractured, shows a lustrous appearance, and conducts electricity and heat relatively well. Metals are typically malleable or ductile. A metal may be a chemical element such as iron, most metals are solid in a specific temperatures for example Mercury is a metal but it is a liquid this is because it has all the Conditions of a metal which makes it a metal. A nonmetal is a chemical element that mostly lacks metallic attributes. Physically, nonmetals tend to have relatively low melting and boiling points. Nonmetals can come in two cases liquid or gas or liquid. Metalloid, a chemical element with properties intermediate between those of typical metals and nonmetals. Usually considered under this classification are the chemical elements boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium. The rare elements polonium and astatine are also sometimes included. Metalloids unlike metals or nonmetals it comes with different Characteristics which are what makes the metalloids special for example Germanium which is solid in room temperature and if held by hand will become a liquid.There are a few differences between metals and nonmetals for example metals have a shiny surface, they also conduct electricity and heat very well and they are also bendable; And nonmetal's surface isn't very shiny nor is it good for conducting heat or electricity and break rather than bend. In conclusion There are elements all around us like the food we eat or the clothes we ware, and we should find more about them.=
