Notes:

1. Metals

2. Metalloids(semimetals)

3. Nonmetals

Metals are to the left of the semimetals.

1. Solid (except for Mercury which is the only liquid metal).

2. Lustrous (this means it is shiny)

3. Malleable (this means it is bendable or can be

flattened into a sheet)

4. Ductile (this means it can be shaped into

wires).

5. Good Conductors of heat and electricity.

We cook with metal to transfer heat to our food.

We use metals in wires to conduct electricity throughout our house.

6. High melting and boiling points.HOT HOT HOT!

What are the 6 properties of metals?

Nonmetals are to the right of the semimetals.

1. Solid, Gas, or Liquid(Bromine is the only liquid nonmetal)

2. Dull(this means it is NOT shiny).

3. Brittle (this means it crumbles into pieces)

4. Poor conductors of heat and electricity.

5. Low melting and boiling points.

What are the 5 properties of non-metals?

Most elements with a side touching thezig-zag line are semimetals exceptaluminum.

They are: B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te, Po, At. (Everything on the stair but Aluminum!)

1. They have properties of both metals

and non-metals.(some are shiny, some are dull, they

canbe brittle or malleable, etc).Example: Silicon is shiny but brittle.

2. They are semiconductors. (this means they conduct heat and

electricity,but not as well as metals and under certaincircumstances).Ex. Silicon works well as a microchip.

What are the 2 properties of semi-metals?

•Shown here in redred boxes.•Only 2 elements are liquids at room temperature: Mercury (Hg) and Bromine (Br)

•Hydrogen (H)•Helium (He)•Nitrogen (N)•Oxygen (O)•Fluorine (F)•Chlorine (Cl)•Neon (Ne)•Argon (Ar)•Krypton (Kr)•Xenon (Xe)•Radon (Ra)•Shown here in purplepurple boxes.

•Shown here in yellowyellow boxes.

•Everything else on the periodic table is a solid.

METALSMETALS

Conclusion: Write at least 5 complete and complex sentences explaining the properties of metals, semimetals, and nonmetals. Be sure to include where these main sections are on the periodic table including the solids, liquids, and gases.

WE WILL USE YOUR COLOR-CODED PERIODIC TABLE TO ANSWER

QUESTIONS 1-11.

1. Which arrow points to Metals?

Semimetals? Nonmetals?

A

C

B

1. Which arrow points to Metals?

Semimetals? Nonmetals?

A: Metals

C: Non metals

B: Semimetals

2. Is Germanium (32 protons)

a metal, semi-metal or nonmetal?

2. Germanium is a semi-

metal because it touches the

zig-zag line

3. Is Aluminum (13 protons)

a metal, semi-metal or nonmetal?

3. Aluminum is a metal. It’s the only element touching

the zig-zag line that is NOT a semi-metal

4. Is Bromine (35 protons) a

metal, semi-metal or nonmetal?

4. Bromine is a nonmetal

5. Name all 8 semi-metals

5. Boron, Silicon,

Germanium, Arsenic, Antimony, Tellurium,

Polonium, and Astatatine(they are all touching the

zig-zag line

6. Is Mercury a solid, liquid

or gas at room temperature?

6. Mercury is the only liquid

metal element at room temperature

7. What is the other liquid on the periodic table and is it

a metal, semi-metal or nonmetal?

7. Bromine is the other liquid

and it is a nonmetal

8. Is Iodine (53 protons) a

solid, liquid or gas at room temperature?

8. Iodine is solid at room

temperature(you may be familiar with

liquid ‘iodine’ at the doctor office. That is not

pure iodine)

9. Are all the elements in

Group 18 or 8A gases at room temperature?

9. Yes, all the elements in

Group 18 or 8A are gases, and they are all inert

(unreactive) gases

10. List the 5 other gases that

are not in the Group 18 gases.

10. The other gases are Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine and

Chlorine

11. Are all the semi-metals

also solid at room temperature?

11. Yes, all the semi-metals

are solid at room temperature.

WE WILL NOW USE YOUR BLUE PERIODIC TABLE TO ANSWER

QUESTIONS 12-19.

YOU MAY NOT LOOK AT YOUR COLOR-CODED PERIODIC TABLE!

12. Is Boron (5 protons) a metal, semi-metal or

nonmetal?

12. Boron is a semi-metal. I know this because it’s to the left/right of the zig-

zag line

13. Is Gallium (31 protons) a

metal, semi-metal or nonmetal?

13. Gallium is a metal. I know this because all metals are

to the left of the semi-metals

14. List all 11 gases

14. All gases are toward the right side of the periodic

table except Hydrogen. The gases are: Hydrogen, Helium, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine,

Chlorine, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon and Radon

15. What are the only 2 liquids at room temperature on the

periodic table?

15. Mercury and Bromine

No trick to remember this, just memorize them!

16. List the 5 nonmetals that are

solid at room temperature

16. Carbon, Phosphorus, Sulfur,

Selenium, Iodine

17. Where are all nonmetals

located (except for Hydrogen)?

17. All nonmetals are to the right

of the semi-metals, except for Hydrogen

18. Which elements conduct heat

and electricity the best: metals, nonmetals or

metalloids?

18. Metals conduct heat and

electricity the best

19. Which elements are brittle:

metals, nonmetals or metalloids?

19. Nonmetals (although some metalloids may have this

property as well)
