The passages discuss the differences between elements, compounds, metals and non-metals. They provide examples of each and discuss their properties and structure at an atomic level.

Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity, have high melting points, and are typically found on the left side of the periodic table. Non-metals are poor conductors, have low melting points, and exhibit properties like brittleness.

Elements are pure substances made of only one type of atom, while compounds are made up of two or more elements chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio.
