| Element | A pure substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances by physical or chemical means |
| Pure Substance | A substance in which there is only one type of particle |
| Characteristic Properties | When each element has a unique set of properties that allow you to identify it |
| Metals | Elements that are shiny and are good conductors of thermal energy and electric current metals are malleable |
| Non-Metals | Elements that are dull and that are poor conductors of thermal energy and electric current, they are brittle and not malleable. |
| Metalloids | Also called semiconductors, Elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals EX: Shiny or dull, malleable and not malleable |
