Properties of Metals, Nonmetals, & Metalloids
Define the following terms/physical properties & determine how you can test a sample for this property.
1) Malleability
2) Luster
3) Conductivity
4) For reactivity with acid, how will you determine if a chemical reaction has occurred?
Purpose: To classify unknown samples as metal, nonmetal, or metalloid based on the observed
characteristics.
Use the procedures you described above to test each physical property of the samples. To test the
chemical property (reaction w/ acid) place a small piece of the sample into a test tube and then add 5-10
drops of acid. Record your observations in the table on the back.

Electronegativity
The ability of an atom to _______________ electrons.
Most electronegative element is F (fluorine).
It is assigned the number 4.
All other values are based on this value.
Ionic Radius: anion radius is ________________ compared to the atom.

When comparing ions of different elements, determine how many electrons each ion has and how many
protons each ion has. If the electrons are the same, the one with more protons will have the smaller radius.

Isoelectronic Configurations
 Elements with similar electronic configurations tend to have similar chemical and physical
properties.
 It is possible for elemental ions to have exactly the same electronic configuration as other
elements or ions.
 When two elements and/or ions have the same electronic configuration it is said that
they are "isoelectronic" with one another.
 When two chemical species are isolectronic they again tend to have similar chemical
properties.
