A

Flexible, ductile, and conducts electricity. It reacts mildly with water. (Exp. Magnesium, Mg)

17
Q

Transition metals

A

Lustre, malleability, and resistance to corrosion.

18
Q

Non-metals

A

Not shiny, ductile, or malleable. (Exp. Carbon, C)

19
Q

Noble gases

A

A gas that does not react at all. (Exp. Neon, Ne)

20
Q

Halogens

A

A highly reactive gas. (Exp. Chlorine, Cl)

21
Q

Ionic

A

metals + non-metals

22
Q

Covalent

A

non-metals + non-metals

23
Q

Cations

A

Positively-charged ions (atoms or groups of atoms that have more protons than electrons due to having lost one or more electrons).

24
Q

Anions

A

Negatively-charged ions (meaning they have more electrons than protons due to having gained one or more electrons).
