Possible answers to non metallic element
- Chemical element
- Element that makes up diamonds
- Element with symbol C
- Non metallic element
- Non-metallic element
- Nonmetallic element
- An elementary substance, not metallic in its nature, which
is present in all organic compounds. Atomic weight 11.97. Symbol C. it
is combustible, and forms the base of lampblack and charcoal, and
enters largely into mineral coals. In its pure crystallized state it
constitutes the diamond, the hardest of known substances, occuring in
monometric crystals like the octahedron, etc. Another modification is
graphite, or blacklead, and in this it is soft, and occurs in hexagonal
prisms or tables. When united with oxygen it forms carbon dioxide,
commonly called carbonic acid, or carbonic oxide, according to the
proportions of the oxygen; when united with hydrogen, it forms various
compounds called hydrocarbons. Compare Diamond, and Graphite.
- brimstone
- Non metallic element
- A nonmetallic element occurring naturally in large
quantities, either combined as in the sulphides (as pyrites) and
sulphates (as gypsum), or native in volcanic regions, in vast beds
mixed with gypsum and various earthy materials, from which it is melted
out. Symbol S. Atomic weight 32. The specific gravity of ordinary
octohedral sulphur is 2.05; of prismatic sulphur, 1.96.
- Any one of numerous species of yellow or orange
butterflies of the subfamily Pierinae; as, the clouded sulphur
(Eurymus, / Colias, philodice), which is the common yellow butterfly of
the Eastern United States.
- Chemical element with the symbol B and atomic number 5
- Fifth element on the periodic table
- Non-metallic element, B
- A nonmetallic element occurring abundantly in borax. It is
reduced with difficulty to the free state, when it can be obtained in
several different forms; viz., as a substance of a deep olive color, in
a semimetallic form, and in colorless quadratic crystals similar to the
diamond in hardness and other properties. It occurs in nature also in
boracite, datolite, tourmaline, and some other minerals. Atomic weight
10.9. Symbol B.
- A waxy poisonous inflammable non metallic element giving out light
- match ingredient
- Matches ingredient
- The morning star; Phosphor.
- A poisonous nonmetallic element of the nitrogen group,
obtained as a white, or yellowish, translucent waxy substance, having a
characteristic disagreeable smell. It is very active chemically, must
be preserved under water, and unites with oxygen even at ordinary
temperatures, giving a faint glow, -- whence its name. It always occurs
compined, usually in phosphates, as in the mineral apatite, in bones,
etc. It is used in the composition on the tips of friction matches, and
for many other purposes. The molecule contains four atoms. Symbol P.
Atomic weight 31.0.
- Hence, any substance which shines in the dark like
phosphorus, as certain phosphorescent bodies.
- A rare element of the nitrogen-phosphorus group, found
combined, in vanadates, in certain minerals, and reduced as an
infusible, grayish-white metallic powder. It is intermediate between
the metals and the non-metals, having both basic and acid properties.
Symbol V (or Vd, rarely). Atomic weight 51.2.
- Element F
- Gaseous element
- A non-metallic, gaseous element, strongly acid or
negative, or associated with chlorine, bromine, and iodine, in the
halogen group of which it is the first member. It always occurs
combined, is very active chemically, and possesses such an avidity for
most elements, and silicon especially, that it can neither be prepared
nor kept in glass vessels. If set free it immediately attacks the
containing material, so that it was not isolated until 1886. It is a
pungent, corrosive, colorless gas. Symbol F. Atomic weight 19.
- Metallic element
- Silvery-white element
- A rare metallic element, discovered in certain ores of
zinc, by means of its characteristic spectrum of two indigo blue lines;
hence, its name. In appearance it resembles zinc, being white or lead
gray, soft, malleable and easily fusible, but in its chemical relation
it resembles aluminium or gallium. Symbol In. Atomic weight, 113.4.
- A red-brown metal
- Base metal

- Change
- Coin for Bobby
- Metal, Cu

- An elementary substance found combined in the minerals
manaccanite, rutile, sphene, etc., and isolated as an infusible
iron-gray amorphous powder, having a metallic luster. It burns when
heated in the air. Symbol Ti. Atomic weight 48.1.
