Groups
Vertical columns
Alkali Metals ( group 1)
Most reactive
Form cations (+1)
Alkaline Earth Metals (group 2)
Reactive but less reactive than alkali metals
Form cations (+2)
CONDUCTORS
Transition Metals (groups 3-12)
Harder and less reactive
Form cations or various charges
BCNO groups ( boron carbon nitrogen oxygen) (groups 13-16)
Post transition metals
Softer and poorly conduct
Variable in charge
Metalloids and nonmetals
Halogens (group 17)
Most reactive non metal
Form anions
Very reactive
Easily combine with metals to make salt
Noble gases (group 18)
Non reactive
valence shells are already full
Gases
Lanthanides
Rare earth metals
Have powerful magnetic, electrical, and luminescent qualities
