[ ? ] Non-Metal:

Its atomic number (the number of protons) is 34. It has a Standard Atomic Weight of 78.96(3), and is typically found as a solid in its elemental form.

Selenium is considered to be a member of the "Non-Metal" class of elements, has a boiling point of 685 °C , and a melting point of 220.5 °C .

Role in health

Deficiency of selenium may cause heart failure.[1] This may occur in the settings or anorexia nervosa[2], bariatric surgery[3], peripartum cardiomyopathy[4] and Keshan Disease. However, while selenium levels are lower among patients with heart failure than among controls, levels are similarly decreased whether heart failure is idiopathic or ischemic.[5] A small randomized controlled trial showed benefit from micronutrient supplementation that included selenium.[6]

Deficiency of selenium may cause coronary heart disease[7]
