Perodic Table Flashcards
Metals characteristics
Good heat & electricity conductors, malleable, ductile, shiny, tend to lose electrons through chemical changes (Cr,Cu,Sr,Pb)
Non-metals characteristics
poor heat & electricity conductors, not ductile or malleable
5 non-metals solid at room temperature
C, P, S, Se, I
Liquid non-metal at room temperature
Br
11 non-metals gas at room temperature
H, He, N, O, F, Ne, Cl, Ar, Kr, Xe, Right now
Metalloids characteristic
semimetal, divides metals & nonmetals, mixed properties
Noble gases characteristic
mostly reactive
Alkali Metals characteristic
all reactive metals
Alkaline earth metals characteristic
Fairly reactive
Halogens
very reactive nonmetals
main group metals tends to ____ electrons by
lose electrons by forming a cation with the same number of electrons as the nearest noble gas
main group nonmetals tend to ___ electrons by
gain electrons by forming a anion with the same number of electrons as the nearest noble gas
