What is luster?
Shininess!
Malleable metals
can…
Can be hammered
into sheets.
List three
characteristics of
metals.
Luster, ductile and
malleable, high density,
high melting points,
good conductors!
Ductile means
metals can …
Can be made into a
wire
How does the melting
point of metals
compare with that of
nonmetals?
Metals have a higher
melting point
Remember metals are solid are
room temperature and have to
be very hot to turn to a liquid.
The modern periodic
table arranges the
elements in order of
increasing…
Atomic number.
Elements in the same
period have the same
number of …
orbitals
or rings
Elements in the
same family have
the same number
of…
Electrons on the outer
orbital
Also known as
valence electrons
Elements in the same
columns are called…
Families or groups
The horizontal rows on
the periodic table are …
Periods
What is the second
most reactive family of
metals?
Alkaline Earth
Metals
What is the most
reactive nonmetal
family?
Halogens
What is the name of the
group of elements that
do not combine readily
with other elements?
Noble gases, they don’t
react with anything, since they
already have 8 valence electrons
Which family of elements
loses electron most easily
which makes it the most
reactive metal family?
Alkali metals
What are the 2
groups at the bottom
of the periodic table?
Lanthanides and
Actinides (don’t memorize
names, just recognize)
Elements on the top
right of the periodic
table are called …
nonmetals
The elements along the
zig zag line on the
periodic table are …
Metalloids
Elements can be
classified in what 3
ways?
Metals, Non-metals,
or metalloids
The elements to the left
of the line on the
periodic table are …
metals

?
List

86.45
Find the number of protons, neutrons,
electrons, and electrons in the last
orbital.
Protons = 41
Neutrons (86-41) = 45
Electrons = 41 (Same as protons)
Electrons in last orbital = 13
(2+8+18=28) 41-28=13
A metals ability to
corrode is a chemical
or physical property?
Chemical property,
explains what metals react with
As you move down the
periodic table, does the
size of the atom
increase or decrease?
Increases.
As you move down on the
periodic table, the number of
orbitals increase. As you add an
orbital, the size of the atom
increases.
In general, compare the
metalloids with that of
metals and nonmetals.
Metalloids properties
are in between.
1. Metals do what with valence
electrons when combining with
other elements?
2. Nonmetals do what with valence
electrons when combining with
other elements?
Valence electrons: electrons on outer orbit
1. Metals lose electrons
Metals have 1, 2 or 3 valence electrons and
it is easy to lose them
2. Nonmetals gain or share
electrons
Nonmetals usually have 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8
valence electrons and it is easier to gain
electrons than lose them
Why is it important to
recycle?
Write down this question and
answer before the test for extra
credit.
1. Less pollution.
2. Saves money and electricity.
3. Saves resources.
4. Saves landfill space

5-9.
