shiny,
ductile (bendy)
Describe the properties of the alkali metals…
Solid,
metallic bonding,
conducts electricity,
shiny,
ductile (bendy),
very reactive,
reacts with water,
valency of 1
Describe the properties of the transition metals…
Solid,
metallic bonding,
conduct electricity,
shiny,
ductile,
catalysts,
coloured compounds
valencies vary,
Describe the properties of the halogens…
very reactive (lower the valency the more reactive)
diatomic
valency of 1
Describe the properties of the noble gases…
gasses
unreactive
What are the three ways to extract metals from their oxides?
heat alone (electrons vibrate themselves away)
using a reducing agent such as carbon monoxide (Carbon Monoxide grabs onto the oxygen)
use electrolysis of a melt (separate using charge)
