metals and nonmetals + Transition metals Flashcards
What is a metal
Elements which form positive ions
Where are metals found in the periodic table
Found at the left and bottom of periodic table
Describe the general properties of metals
strong, malleable, conductors of heat and electricity, high melting and boiling points
Why do most metals have similar properties
All metals use metallic bonding which allow them to all have similar properties
Why do elements at the bottom of the periodic table lose electrons easier
They have more shells of electrons than the top elements, and outer electrons have a weaker connection to the nucleus
Where are transition metals found in the periodic table
In the center of the periodic table
TOF? transition metals are less reactive than group 1 metals
True, G1 elements react more vigorously with water, oxygen or g& elements
How do the melting points and densities of transition metals compare to group 1 metals?
Transition metals are a lot more dense and higher melting and boiling points
Which property of transition metals is demonstrated by the use of iron in the haber process
Transition metals make good catalysts
What are two other properties of metals that arent in group 1 metals
Transition metals can form more than one ion, they also form colorful compounds
