Elements & the Periodic Table

Introduction

Science has come so far, that we know that we are all made up of atoms. If you've read my biology pages that say you're a Eukaryote, which is true, I'm going to go one further and say that you are a load of atoms. Elements are materials on the planet (and in space) that we can use for various functions - the computer I use to make these pages are a form of metals, non-metals and more. And compounds are a mixture of elements.
