sumo#elemental_substance pure_substances that cannot be separated into two or more substances by ordinary chemical (or physical) means; this excludes nuclear reactions; elemental_substances are composed of only one kind of atom, e.g., iron (Fe), copper (Cu), and oxygen (O_2); elemental_substances are the simplest pure_substances
closed_exclusion: sumo#compound_substance
supertype: sumo#pure_substance substances with constant composition, e.g., table salt, sugar, water, iron, copper and oxygen
subtype: sumo#metal an elemental_substance that conducts heat and electricity, is shiny and reflects many colors of light, and can be hammered into sheets or drawn into wire; about 80% of the known chemical elements (sumo#elemental_substances) are metals
subtype: sumo#atom an extremely small unit of matter that retains its identity in Chemical reactions; it consists of an atomic_nucleus and electrons surrounding the atomic_nucleus
subtype: sumo#subatomic_particle__subatomicparticle the class of elemental_substances that are smaller than atoms and compose atoms
subtype: sumo#atomic_nucleus the core of the atom; it is composed of protons and neutrons
subtype: sumo#electron sumo#subatomic_particles that surround the atomic_nucleus; they have a negative charge
subtype: sumo#proton components of the atomic_nucleus; they have a positive charge
subtype: sumo#neutron components of the atomic_nucleus; they have no charge
