- ELEMENTS /ˈɛlɪmənts/ · noun
- The plural of "element": essential parts, components, or basic principles of which something is made up; also the natural forces of weather, especially harsh ones. Related: components, parts, ingredients, factors.
- CHEMISTRY /ˈkɛmɪstri/ · noun
- The branch of science concerned with the substances of which matter is composed, their properties, reactions, and the ways in which they interact, combine, and change. It also figuratively denotes a powerful mutual attraction or rapport between people. Related: science of matter, chemical science.
- PERIODICITY /ˌpɪəriəˈdɪsɪti/ · noun
- The quality or property of recurring at regular or otherwise patterned intervals. In mathematics and physics, it refers to a system or function whose behavior repeats after a characteristic interval. Related: regularity, recurrence, cyclicity, rhythmicity.
- PREDICTION /prɪˈdɪkʃən/ · noun
- A statement about what is expected to happen in the future, especially one based on reasoning, experience, or available information. It can also refer to the act or result of forecasting a future event. Related: forecast, prophecy, projection, estimate.
- GALLIUM /ˈɡæliəm/ · noun
- Gallium is a soft, silvery-blue metallic chemical element (symbol Ga, atomic number 31) notable for its very low melting point of about 29.8 °C, just above room temperature. It is used chiefly in semiconductors, notably gallium arsenide and gallium nitride.
- GERMANIUM /dʒəˈmɑːniəm/ · noun
- A chemical element with the symbol Ge and atomic number 32, classified as a metalloid. In pure or doped crystalline form, it is used as a semiconductor and in infrared optics.
- SCANDIUM /ˈskændiəm/ · noun
- Scandium is a soft, silvery-white transition metal with the chemical symbol Sc and atomic number 21. It is a relatively rare element, used chiefly to strengthen aluminum alloys and in some specialized lighting and research applications.
- RUTHENIUM /ruːˈθiːniəm/ · noun
- A hard, silvery-white metallic element of the platinum group, occurring in platinum ores and used particularly as a catalyst in chemical reactions. Its chemical symbol is Ru and its atomic number is 44.
- OSMIUM /ˈɒzmiəm/ (British); /ˈɑzmiəm/ (US) · noun
- Osmium is a hard, silvery-white transition metal, chemical symbol Os and atomic number 76. It is the densest naturally occurring element and is used in specialized alloys, instrument components, and catalysts. Related: Os.
