Tellurium
(n.) A rare
nonmetallic
element,
analogous
to
sulphur
and
selenium,
occasionally
found
native
as a
substance
of a
silver-white
metallic

Nitrogen
(n.) A
colorless
nonmetallic
element,
tasteless
and
odorless,
comprising
four
fifths
of the
atmosphere
by
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,
as
ammonia,
nitric
acid, the
cyanides,
etc, and is a
constituent
of all
organized
living
tissues,
animal
or
vegetable.

Silicon
::
Silicon
(n.) A
nonmetalic
element
analogous
to
carbon.
It
always
occurs
combined
in
nature,
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
silica,
or
common
quartz,
and in this form, or as
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.
