Most Elements are metals
¾ of periodic table is

Except for Hydrogen all of
groups 1-12 are metals
A few in groups 13-15

Generally density,
strength, boiling point, &
melting point are greater
than other elements
Solid at room temp except

Group 1 highly reactive with
oxygen-0 only occur in
compounds in nature
Silverly appearance, soft
enough to cut with a knife, low
density
Group 2- highly reactive but not
as reactive as group 1- also only
occur in compounds in nature.
Similar to alkali metals, Silverly
appearance, soft, low density
Groups 3-12
Higher melting point, higher
densities, resist corrosion
