8
Q
Properties of Alkali Metals
A
- All have 1 valence electron
- Extremely reactive with air and water
- Soft and lustrous
9
Q
Properties of Alkaline Earth Metals
A
- Have 2 valence electrons
- Reactive with oxygen (i.e. flammable)
10
Q
Properties of Transition Metals
A
- much less reactive than groups ONE and TWO
- Hard, dense, many are good conductors of heat and electricity
- Can be mixed into alloys (mix of metals)
11
Q
Properties of Halogens
A
- Have 7 valence electrons
- “salt-formers” - readily combine with metals to form salts (ionic compounds -reactive with group #1)
12
Q
Properties of Rare Earth Metals
A
- Not actually rare
- In the annex of the bottom table
13
Q
Properties of Metalloids
A
- Exhibit both metallic and non-metallic properties
14
Q
Properties of Noble gases
A
- Full orbital (stable)
