Metals + Non Metals Flashcards
1
Q
Why do metals react ?
A
Metals react to loose e- and become positive ions
2
Q
What do metals lose ?
A
Metals lose e- to get a full outer shell (FOS)
3
Q
Properties of a metal ?
A
- good conductors of heat and electricity
- malleable ( bendy )
- shiny
- hight melting + boiling points
- hight density
4
Q
Why do non metals react ?
A
They react to gain e- and become negative ions
5
Q
What do non metals gain ?
A
They gain e- to get a FOS
6
Q
Properties of a non metal ?
A
- Poor conductors of heat and electricity
- brittle + dull
- low melting + boiling points
- low density
