Metal


Definition:

  • (n.) An elementary substance, as sodium, calcium, or copper, whose oxide or hydroxide has basic rather than acid properties, as contrasted with the nonmetals, or metalloids.

  • (n.) A mine from which ores are taken.

  • (n.) The effective power or caliber of guns carried by a vessel of war.
  • (n.) Glass in a state of fusion.
