Elemental Groups Flashcards
Alkali Metals
reacts violently with water, highly reactive
Noble Gases
Also called inert gasses, colorless, odorless, tasteless, non-reactive, radon is radioactive,
Alkaline Earth Metals
Used in fireworks, reactive in water
Hydrogen
Most abundant element, highly flammable, colorless and odorless, combustible, used in fuel cells, no neutrons 1 electron and 1 proton
Lathanide
burn in oxygen
Actinide
all radioactive, reactive
Non-metals
very little conduction or luster, exist only as gasses or solid.
Metalloids
synthetic, radioactive, separates metals and non-metals, form alloys, poor conductors.
Metals *p 33 in lab book
good conductor, malleable, ductile, high melting points, solid, shiny
Halogens
Liquids, gases, and solids. Can be used in chlorine which kills germs. Poisonous Combines to make [ ]
Exothermic
A release of energy. Usually in heat, light, or sound. Like a firework.
Endothermic
A reaction in witch energy is absorbed.
