Definition of Element

element
1. <data, programming> One of the items of data in an array.
2. One kind of node in an SGML, HTML, or XML document tree. An SGML element is typically represented by a start tag ("

") and an end tag ("

"). In some SGML implementations, some tags are omissible, as with "

" in HTML.
The start tag can contain attributes ("

"), which are an unordered set of key-value bindings for that element. Both the start tag and end tag for an element typically contain the "tag name" (also called the "GI" or generic identifier) for that element.
In XML, an element is always represented either by an explicit start tag and end tag, or by an empty element tag ("").
Other kinds of SGML node are: a section of character data ("foo"), a comment (""), a markup declaration (""), or a processing instruction ("").

element
\el"e*ment\ (?), n. [f. élément, l. elementum.]
1. one of the simplest or essential parts or principles of which anything consists, or upon which the constitution or fundamental powers of anything are based.
2. one of the ultimate, undecomposable constituents of any kind of matter. specifically: (chem.) a substance which cannot be decomposed into different kinds of matter by any means at present employed; as, the elements of water are oxygen and hydrogen.
note: the elements are naturally classified in several families or groups, as the group of the alkaline elements, the halogen group, and the like. they are roughly divided into two great classes, the metals, as sodium, calcium, etc., which form basic compounds, and the nonmetals or metalloids, as oxygen, sulphur, chlorine, which form acid compounds; but the distinction is only relative, and some, as arsenic, tin, aluminium, etc., form both acid and basic compounds. the essential fact regarding every element is its relative atomic weight or equivalent. when the elements are tabulated in the order of their ascending atomic weights, the arrangement constitutes the series of the periodic law of mendelejeff. see periodic law, under periodic. this periodic law enables us to predict the qualities of unknown elements. the number of elements known is about seventy-five, but the gaps in the periodic law indicate the possibility of many more. many of the elements with which we are familiar, as hydrogen, carbon, iron, gold, etc., have been recognized, by means of spectrum analysis, in the sun and the fixed stars. from certain evidence (as that afforded by the periodic law, spectrum analysis, etc.) it appears that the chemical elements probably may not be simple bodies, but only very stable compounds of some simpler body or bodies. in formulas, the elements are designated by abbreviations of their names in latin or new latin. the elements ------------------------------------------------------------ name |sym-|atomic weight| |bol | o=16 | h=1 | ------------------------------------------------------------ aluminum | al | 27.1 | 26.9| antimony(stibium) argon arsenic barium beryllium (see glucinum) bismuth boron bromine cadmium caesium calcium carbon cerium chlorine chromium cobalt columbium copper (cuprum) erbium fluorine gadolinium gallium germanium glucinum gold helium hydrogen indium iodine iridium iron (ferrum) krypton lanthanum lead (plumbum) lithium magnesium manganese mercury (hydrargyrum) molybdenum neodymium neon nickel niobium (see columbium) nirogen osmium oxygen palladium phosphorus platinum potassium (kalium) praseodymium rhodium rubidium ruthenium ----------------------------------------------------------- the elements -- continued ------------------------------------------------------------ name samarium scandium selenium silicon silver (argentum) sodium (natrium) strontium sulphur tantalum tellurium thallium thorium thulium tin (stannum) titanium tungsten (wolframium) uranium vanadium wolfranium (see tungsten) xenon ytterbium yttrium zinc zirconium ----------------------------------------------------------
note: several other elements have been announced, as holmium, vesbium, austrium, etc., but their properties, and in some cases their existence, have not yet been definitely established.
3. one of the ultimate parts which are variously combined in anything; as, letters are the elements of written language; hence, also, a simple portion of that which is complex, as a shaft, lever, wheel, or any simple part in a machine; one of the essential ingredients of any mixture; a constituent part; as, quartz, feldspar, and mica are the elements of granite. the simplicity which is so large an element in a noble nature was laughed to scorn. (thucyd.).
4. (a) one out of several parts combined in a system of aggregation, when each is of the nature of the whole; as, a single cell

element
element - Compare with compound and mixture .An element is a substance composed of atoms with identical atomic number . The older definition of element (an element is a pure substance that can't be decomposed chemically) was made obsolete by the discovery of isotopes .

Element

Element
Element [from Latin elementa first principles; also (singular) elementum an element; cf Sanskrit li to dissolve] Though element may be applied to anything, it more specifically refers to the matterside of nature; and thus the primordial element is found in mulaprakriti, the fundamental root-substance which underlies all manifestation. Schools of philosophy have seen fire, air, or water (not as understood in the usual sense) as the primal element; or have recognized fire, air, water, earth, and sometimes aether as primal elements.
While all things spring from an original unity, element is employed relatively to many things which are themselves compound. The chemical elements, for example, may spring from a more elementary protyle, and this again from the akasa, the common spiritual-ethereal parent of the physical substratum. Thus, what is homogeneous in relation to that which comes from it, may be heterogeneous in relation to that from which it comes.
The theosophical teaching regarding the cosmic elements and principles is treated under the term Tattvas. See also BHUTA ; Mahabhuta ; AETHER ; AIR ; EARTH ; FIRE ; Water 

Element
one of more than 100 simple substances that consist of atoms of only one kind and that either singly or in combination make up all matter. For example, the simplest element is hydrogen, and one of the most abundant elements is carbon. Some elements such as radium and uranium are radioactive.

element
[statistics] an element or member of a sample or population is a specific subject or object such as a person, tree, firm, age, etc

element
elementum

Element
meilak (chem.); velak (math.)

Element
 1) all isotopes of an atom that contain the same number of protons. For example, the element uranium has 92 protons, and the different isotopes of this element may contain 134 to 148 neutrons. 2) In a reactor, a fuel element is a metal rod containing the fissile material.
