Definition
Resembling an element; having the form or nature of an element without being a true element.
Etymology
From 'element' + '-oid' (a suffix meaning 'resembling' or 'like'). Describes things that appear elemental or fundamental in nature or structure.
Kelly Says
In chemistry, 'elementoid' substances are the impostors of the periodic table—they look and act like elements but are actually compounds, like silicon dioxide mimicking pure silicon.
