Section 3 Ch 1 Flashcards
Each group contains elements with
Similar chemical properties
Alkaline earth metals have similar abilities to
Bond to other kinds of atoms
2 major categories of elements
Metals and nonmetals
Periods
Horizontal rows of elements in the periodic table
Physical and chemical properties change
Somewhat regularly across a period
Elements that are close to each other in the same period tend to be
More similar than elements that are farther apart
Lanthanide and actinide series for just after
Elements 57 and 89
Metals
Luster
Good electrical and heat conductor
Good at transferring essay
At room temperature most metals are
Solid
Most metals are
Malleable
Malleability
Can be hammered/rolled into thin sheets
Metals tend to be
Ductile
Ductile
They can be drawn into a fine wire
Metals have high
Tensile strength, the ability to resist breaking when pulled
Alkali metals (group 1) are very
Soft
Some metals are very
Brittle (manganese and bismuth)
Most metals have a silvery/grayish white
Luster (exception: gold and copper)
Copper has a
Reddish color and a luster
Copper is naturally found in
Analcopyrite and malachite
Pure copper melts at
1083 degrees Celsius and boils at 2567 degrees Celsius
When heated copper reacts with
Oxygen
Green coating on copper comes from
Reaction of copper with oxygen carbon dioxide and sulfur
