The far fewer materials are elements than are not elements. Elements are pure substances made up of only one type of atom, while most materials are combinations of different elements (compounds) or mixtures of elements and compounds. There are 118 known elements, but an infinite number of possible combinations of those elements.
They are gases that do not form normal chemical bonds with more than a very few other elements.
FALSE. There are probably 15 elements more dense than mercury. A few examples would be Osmium, Platinum, and Gold, just to name a few.
Yes, elements with very few valence electrons are typically non-metals. Non-metals tend to have higher electronegativities, making them more likely to gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Elements with few valence electrons are more likely to gain electrons rather than lose them, leading to non-metallic properties.
Yes, most of the elements heavier than helium, such as carbon, oxygen, and iron, were formed through nuclear fusion processes in the cores of stars during their lifetime and through supernova explosions. These elements were not produced during the first few minutes after the Big Bang, which mainly gave rise to light elements like hydrogen and helium.
Yes, far more. The typical tornado is a few hundred feet across. The typical hurricane is a few hundred miles across.

There are more metallic elements listed on the periodic table than nonmetallic elements. Metal elements make up the bulk of the table, while nonmetals are fewer in number.
I am not sure what you mean by 'non elements'.ALL matter is made up of elements - there is no such thing as a 'non element'.Elements can however join up to form compounds and the number of compounds that can be formed far exceeds the number of elements that comprise them.
The expression is 'few and far between'. His visits are few and far between.
The saying is "few and far between". The "far between" part refers to distance. The phrase "few between" doesn't make much sense.
They are gases that do not form normal chemical bonds with more than a very few other elements.
for example, trees are few and far between in a large city. so it means that there are very few of somthing and they are far apart from eachother.
because they have outer electrons than can merge with other elements. all elements want to have full outer electron shells, and they only have a few outer electrons.
Elements larger than uranium are primarily created in supernova explosions and neutron star mergers. These violent events provide the necessary conditions of extreme pressure and temperature for the fusion of heavy elements to occur, leading to the formation of elements like plutonium, einsteinium, and beyond.
Generally their damage paths are short, not more than a few miles, often less than a mile.
