Groups in the Periodic Table Flashcards
Memorize
Inner Transition Metals
The bottom island of the Periodic Table that incudes Lanthanides and Actinides
Metalloids
Behave more like semiconductors, also called “semimetals” and “poor metals”
Halogens
chemically reactive, combine with alkali metals to create different kinds of salt.
Nonmetals
non-lustrous, brittle, poor conductors of heat and electricity
Noble Gases
nonreactive, stable, inert
Alkali Metals
Extremely Reactive
Transition Metals
Malleable, good conductors, most precious metals are here
Lanthanides
Silvery white, tarnish when exposed to air, strong magnetic field, high resistivity
Alkaline Earth Metals
Less reactive, slower, produces less heat
Actinides
All radioactive, Uranium and Thorium only elements that you can find naturally in this section
Post-Transition Metals
Mostly same characteristics as Transition Metals, but softer and poorer conductors
