lithium an extremely reactive chemical element of the alkali metal group that has three protons in each nucleus, occurs naturally only in compounds such as salts, and can be isolated in pure form as a light soft solid. (symbol: Li) [1/2 definitions]
lone set off by itself; isolated. [1/3 definitions]
lonesome sad or depressed because of being isolated or without friends or companions. [1/3 definitions]
magnesium a highly reactive chemical element of the alkaline-earth group that has twelve protons in each nucleus and that occurs naturally only in compounds, but that can be isolated as a divalent ion essential in plant and animal nutrition, or as alight, ductile, silver-white solid that bursts into a bright flame when heated above room temperature, used for flares, fireworks, and the like. (symbol: Mg)
maroon2 to leave (someone) isolated with little prospect of help or rescue. [1/3 definitions]
massif a large mass of the earth's crust, isolated by boundary faults, that has shifted as a unit. [1/2 definitions]
nowhere a remote, isolated, or unknown place. [1/5 definitions]
odd man out a method of isolating or choosing a person from a group, as for certain games, or the person so isolated or chosen. [1/2 definitions]
oddment a leftover or isolated item; one item among several odds and ends. [1/2 definitions]
phosphorus a chemical element that has fifteen protons in each nucleus, that is found naturally only in compounds, esp. biologically essential compounds such as calcium phosphates and nucleotide phosphates, and that can be isolated in various allotropic forms, one of which is a poisonous whitish yellow solid that is luminous at room temperature because of slow oxidation. (symbol: P) [1/2 definitions]
pocket a separate, isolated space or group. [1/8 definitions]
porphyritic resembling porphyry in structure; having large isolated crystals embedded in a fine-textured mass. [1/2 definitions]
potassium a chemical element of the alkali metal group that has nineteen protons in each nucleus, that occurs naturally only in compounds such as various salts, and that can be isolated as a soft silver-white solid that oxidizes swiftly in air. (symbol: K)
rhenium a chemical element that has seventy-five protons in each nucleus and that occurs naturally only in compounds, but that can be isolated as a very dense metal, used esp. for electrical contacts and other high-temperature applications, and as a catalyst. (symbol: Re)
rogue a vicious animal that has been isolated from the herd, esp. a solitary elephant of that disposition. [1/6 definitions]
rubidium a highly reactive chemical element of the alkali metal group that has thirty-seven protons in each nucleus, that occurs naturally only in compounds with oxygen and other elements, but that can be isolated as a liquid or very soft solid metal. (symbol: Rb)
seclude to cause to be isolated; hide away. [1/2 definitions]
secluded isolated or hidden away from view. [1/2 definitions]
seclusion a remote or isolated place. [1/2 definitions]
selenium a chemical element that has thirty-four protons in each nucleus and that forms compounds with many other elements, but that can be isolated in gray or red crystalline allotropes whose electrical resistance varies with light intensity, leading to extensive use in photoelectric cells, xerographic copying, and the like. (symbol: Se)
solitary one who lives alone; one who chooses to be isolated from others. [2/6 definitions]
