Representative elements
Elements in groups 1,2,13,18. Wide range of chemical/physical properties
Transition elements
Groups 3-12 metals, non metals, metalloids
Metals
Generally shiny, solid at room temperature and good conductors of heat and electricity
Alkaline metals
Group 1 elements, except hydrogen, reactive
Alkaline earth metals
Group 2 highly reactive, good for health (calcium, magnesium)
Transition metals
Groups 3-12, f block
Inner transition metals
Group b, f block, fill outermost orbitals
Actinide series
F block element from period 7 that follows actinium
Lanthanide series
2 inner set of inner transition metals
Non-metals
Elements such as gases, dull looking solids
Halogens
Group 17, highly reactive elements
Noble gasses
Extremely unreactive elements, group 18
Metalloids
Physical & chemical properties of both metas, and nonmetals
