Groups Flashcards
1
Q
metals
A
conductors, high melting points, high boiling points, ductile, malleable, react by losing electrons
2
Q
non metals
A
electrical insulators, low melting points, low boiling points, brittle, gain electrons when reacting with metals
3
Q
high number of shells
A
more shielding = less electrostatic attraction between outer electrons and nucleus, more easy to lose/ gain electrons
