Carbon NonMetallicElementType A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVkIMJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ElementStuffTypeByNumberOfProtons</a>. Instances are collections of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVkIuZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ElementStuff</a> that appear on the right side of the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv_VCjJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PeriodicTable</a> (except for hydrogen). At room temperature the elements can be solids, liquids, or gases. These elements exhibit a number of different physical and chemical characteristics from metals. non-metallic element kind Wikipedia Article URL (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rNv0nbm4TTjOp7yhmnzOyqg" class="cyc_term">wikipediaArticleURL</a> THING URL) means that in <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rtqXA6OC8QdiWC72DuLJdUw" class="cyc_term">Wikipedia_WebSite</a> THING is described by an article located at URL wikipediaArticleURL seeAlsoURI <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4riWVFR6HJSpaEaHrcWS3MSA" class="cyc_term">seeAlsoURI</a> <b>THING</b> <b>URI</b>)</code> means that a description of the resource identified by URI is likely to contain information pertinent to THING. This predicate is roughly equivalent to rdfs:seeAlso. See Also URI non-metallic element An instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViGSpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TangibleStuffCompositionType</a> and a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVkIuZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ElementStuff</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVkIuZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ElementStuff</a> is a piece of tangible stuff, composed of a quantity of atoms, all of which are of the same non-metallic element. NonMetal Pretty String (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> TERM STRING) means that STRING is the English word or expression (sequence of words) commonly used to refer to TERM. The predicate <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> is used by the code which generates CycL to English paraphrases, but its applicability is not restricted to this use. prettyString carbon A piece of carbon; here on Earth, this is of course usually a solid, but it needn't necessarily be.

Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjZVpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Solid_StateOfMatter</a> is a solid quantity of matter. Pieces of matter in the solid state are at a sufficiently low enough temperature or high enough pressure for the particular type of matter involved that their molecules are bonded to each other by various sorts of forces, and don't move away from their neighbors. Solid objects are characterized at the macroscopic level by definite, persistent boundaries, independent of container. solid Solid-StateOfMatter wikipediaArticleName (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rTv-jk9SPTXa991kk5mAvHg" class="cyc_term">wikipediaArticleName</a> THING NAME) means that in <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rtqXA6OC8QdiWC72DuLJdUw" class="cyc_term">Wikipedia_WebSite</a> THING is described by an article with the title NAME Wikipedia Article Name carbon A piece of carbon; here on Earth, this is of course usually a solid, but it needn't necessarily be.
