Metals, Nonmetals, Semimetals

Metals

• Located on right side (staircase)

-Solid (except Mercury)

-Ductile (Drawn to wires)

-Luster (shiny)

-Malleable (can be shaped/bent)

-Conductors of heat and energy

-LOSES Electrons (Lack of strong nuclear traction)

Transition metals

• Located in middle

-Multiple oxidation states

-Form colored situations

Nonmetals

-Dull

-Brittle

-Nonconductors

-GAINS Electrons

Metalloids or Semimetals

• properties of both

• B, Si, As, Te, Ge, Sb

Group 1

Alkali metals

• Most reactive

Group 2

Alkaline earth metals

• Second most reactive

Halogens

Group 18

Noble gases

• unreactive — stable with full outer shell

Diatomic elements

• BrINCIHOF or HOFBrINCI elements

• Monoatomic elements

• Gases — Group 18
