Answer 2

Element- is a pure substance which cannot be broken down by chemical means, consisting of atoms which have
identical numbers of protons in their atomic nuclei. The number of protons in the nucleus is the defining property of an element, and is referred to as the atomic number.

Metal-are opaque, lustrous elements that are good conductors of heat and electricity. Most metals are malleable and ductile and are, in general, denser than the other elemental substances.
