Definition of ‘element’

Abstract

In a recent paper I showed how basic chemical concepts can be defined at a macroscopic level (Nelson, 2003). However, a personal correspondent, Dr. Daniel K.C. Tan, has pointed out that my definition of ‘element’ does not take proper account of the phenomenon of allotropy. I have accordingly revised the section of my paper on elements and compounds as set out below.
