Facts about elements

Fact to rememberName of the element
An element is defined by the IUPAC as a pure chemical substance composed of atoms with the same number of protons in the atomic nucleus. All atoms of an element have the same number of protons.
Atoms of elements can have different number of electrons and neutrons.
A variant of an element with different number of neutrons is known as itsIsotope
Different physical form of an element is known as its (e.g. graphite and diamond)Allotrope
