volume.
It is
chemically
very inert in the free
state,
and as such is
incapable
of
supporting
life
(hence
the name azote still used by
French
chemists);
but it forms many
important
compounds,

Metalloid
(n.) Now, one of
several
elementary
substances
which in the free state are
unlike
metals,
and whose
compounds
possess
or
produce
acid,
rather
than
basic,
properties;
a
nonmetal;

Selenium
::
Selenium
(n.) A
nonmetallic
element

ores, and
obtained
in the free state as a dark
reddish
powder
or
crystalline
mass, or as a dark
metallic-looking

in
electric
conductivity,
and is used in
certain
electric
apparatus.

and is
artificially
obtained
in the free
state,
usually
as a dark brown
amorphous
powder,
or as a dark
crystalline
substance
with a
meetallic
luster.
Its oxide is

silicates,
it is, next to
oxygen,
the most
abundant
element
of the
earth's
crust.
Silicon
is
characteristically
the
element
of the
mineral
kingdom,
as
carbon
is of the
organic
world.
