Metals, Metalloids, Non-Metals, Important Info* Flashcards
Metal Characteristics
-Malleable
-Ductile
-Have luster
-Good conductors of electricity
Metals tend to
LOSE ELECTRONS! FORM POSITIVE IONS!
Most Metals are
Denser than water
Metals are found in groups
1 & 2
Transition metals have multiple
Oxidation states / Charges
Transition metals form several
different ions when they lose electrons
Transition metals are less
reactive than groups 1& 2
Transition metals are unique because they can be
colorful!
Transition metals are found in groups
3-12
Metalloids
B, Si, As, Sb, Te, Ge
Metalloids have properties
of both metals and non metals
Non metals are ________ at STP
Gases / Solids at room temp
Most active non-metal
Flourine
Non Metals in group 17 are
Halogens and form ions when they gain electrons
They are also diatomic
Group 18 has
Noble Gasses which all have complete octet
Metals have low
electro-negativity
Non metals have high
electro-negativity
Argon and Xenon can bond with
Flourine
