Physical Properties of Metals
High Density – Heavy for their size
 Have Luster -shiny
 Are Conductors -heat and electricity move
through them easily
 Malleable – Can be hammered into a
different shape
 Ductile – Can be drawn into a wire
 Metals are solid, except for mercury

Physical Properties of METALS
LUSTER – the way an object’s surface
reflects light
Metals have shiny luster. (or metallic luster)
When you leave a spoon in a cup of hot drink, the bit
poking out of the drink gets hot. Why? Conduction!
METALS are the best conductors of heat.
This is because the electrons in metals move more freely than
in non-metals, allowing the heat energy to travel across the
metal.
For example, when the spoon touches the hot drink, the heat
from the drink excites the electrons in the metal, and the
electrons transfer the energy from one electron to another,
carrying the heat all the way up the spoon quickly.
Best conductors:
silver and copper
Physical Properties of METALS

Metals are good conductors of electricity.
Copper, silver, and gold are good electrical
conductors. In a conductor, electric current
can flow freely. Since metals have free
electrons, they can carry a charge easily.

Ductility or ductile – can be drawn into

Chemical Properties of Metals


Reactivity – the ease and speed
with which an element combines,
or reacts, with other substances.
Metals usually react by losing
electrons to other atoms (makes
positive ion).
Metals corrode easily
Some metals are very reactive.
Ex: Sodium (Na) reacts very
strongly with water.

Metals corrode easily.
Corrosion – the deterioration of a metal
due to a chemical reaction in the
environment.
Oxidation – reaction with oxygen
molecules by losing at least one
electron.
Iron reacts slowly with oxygen in the air
(oxidation), forming iron oxide, or rust.

Element Families
• Just as human family
members often have
similar looks and traits,
members of element
families have similar
chemical properties
because they have the
same number of
electrons in their outer
energy levels.
• The electrons in the
outer-most energy level
are called valance
electrons.

Element Families

Alkali Metals
• The metals in Group 1 are called alkili metals.
• These metals are the most reactive metals in the periodic
table.
• They are so reactive that they are never found as
uncombined elements in nature. They have to be
isolated in the lab.
• The alkali metals form compounds that are similar to
each other.
• Alkali metals each have one outer energy level electron.
• It is this electron that is removed when alkali metals
react.
•
The easier it is to remove an electron, the more reactive
the atom is.
• The reactivity of alkali metals increase down the group.

Alkali Earth Metals
• The elements of Group 2 are called the alkaline earth metals.
• These metals are harder and denser, and melt at higher
temperatures than alkali metals.
• They are very reactive, though not as reactive as the alkali
metals.
• These metals are also never found uncombined in natures.
Element Families
22
Transition Metals
• The elements in Groups 3 through 12.
• The transition metals include iron, copper, nickel, gold, and
silver.
• Most of these metals are hard and shiny solids. Ex. mercury.
• With the exception of mercury, the transition metals often
have high melting points and high densities.
• They are also good conductors of heat and electric current,
and are very malleable.
• The transition metals are less reactive than the metals in
Groups 1 and 2.

There are two rows of

Elements that follow uranium (U, 92) in the
periodic table are transuranium elements.
These elements are made, or synthesized,
when nuclear particles are forced to crash

They are called synthetic elements.
To make elements with atomic numbers
above 95, scientists use devices called
particles accelerator.

Where do we find METALS?
Some metals like gold, silver, and platinum are
found as pure substances in the earth’s crust
because they are least reactive.
Most metals are reactive and are found as oxides
(react with oxygen), carbonates (react with carbon),
sulfides (react with sulfur).
Minerals : are elements or compounds which
occur naturally inside the earth’s crust.
Ore : is a mineral from which metals can be
extracted profitably.

Physical Properties of
NONMETALS
Nonmetals have a dull luster.

Example: Phosphorus
Physical Properties of NONMETALS
Nonmetals are insulators.
They do not conduct electricity or
heat well.
Physical Properties of NONMETALS
Nonmetals are insulators.
They do not conduct electricity or
heat well.
The atoms in nonmetals do not have
loose electrons. Therefore, when
electricity, or something hot touches a
non-metal, the energy does not move
quickly through the material.
What would you rather stir a hot pot
with—a wooden spoon or a metal spoon?

An interesting element: Carbon
Ever break the point of your
pencil? That’s because it’s
made of graphite, a substance
made up completely of
Carbon—a brittle nonmetal.
However diamonds, the hardest
material of all, are made of the
same element: Carbon.
Look at how the carbon atoms
are arranged in diamonds—why
do you think diamonds are
harder than graphite?
