Metals And Non Metals Flashcards
Metals ?
Elements that’s can form positive ions when they react
Nonmetals ?
Elements that’s don’t generally form positive ions
Atoms tend to react to a
Form full outer shell
Metal can get a full outer shell by
Losin electrons
Metals are more raectibve when they
Lose electrons more easily
Metals are more reactive towards
The bottom leg of the periodic table
Nonmetals get a full outer shell
by gaining or Sharin electrons
Non metals are more reactive when they gain electrons more easily
Non metals are more reactive toward the top right of the periodic table
The properties of a metal is
It’s shiny
It’s strong and malleable
High meltin boilin point good electrical and thermal conductors
The properties of a non metal is
It’s dull
Brittle
Low meltin boilin points
Poor conductors
