The Periodic Table of Elements

ElementsElements are a PUREsubstance that cannot bebroken into simplersubstances. The elements, alone or incombinations (COMPOUNDS),make up our bodies, ourworld, our sun, and in fact, theentire universe.

Metals

Periodic Table

Metals appear to the left of the dark ziz-zag line on the periodic table.

Properties of Metals

Metals have

luster. This means they are

shiny

Properties of Metals

Ductilemetals can be pulled into a thin wire.

Properties of Metals

Malleablemetals can be hammered/ pounded into sheets

Properties of Metals

Metals have a high melting & boiling points.

Properties of Metals

Conductors Metals are

good conductors of electricity and heat

Properties of Metals

A chemical property of metal is its reaction with water and oxygen. This results in corrosion and rust.

Nonmetals

Properties of Nonmetals

Nonmetals occur to the right of the dark zig-zag on the periodic table. Although Hydrogen is on the left, it is also a nonmetal because of its physical and chemical properties .

Properties of Nonmetals

Nonmetals do not have luster; they are dull.

Properties of Nonmetals

BrittleNonmetals are

brittle so they break easily. This means nonmetals ARE NOT ductile or malleable.

Properties of Nonmetals

Many nonmetals are gases at room temperature.

Properties of Nonmetals

They also have a low melting point. This is why they are poor conductors of heat and electricity.

Metalloids

Properties of Metalloids

Metalloids can be found clustered around the

dark zig-zag line that separates metals

and nonmetals.

Properties of Metalloids

Metalloids (metal-like) have properties of both

metals and

nonmetals.

Properties of Metalloids

Metalloids are solids that can be

shiny or

dull.

Properties of Metalloids

They conduct

electricity and heat better than nonmetals but not as well as

metals.

Properties of Metalloids

Metalloids can

malleable or

ductile.
