Alkali Metals
|
These Metals are extremely reactive and are never found in nature in their pure form. They are silver colored and shiny. Their density is extremely low so that they are soft enough to be cut with a knife. ( 1 valence electron; electron configuration ends in S^1)
|
Group 1
|
|
|
Alkaline-Earth Metals
|
These Metals are slightly less reactive than Alkali Metals. They are silver colored and more dense than Alkali Metals. (2 valence electrons; electron configuration ends in S^2
|
Group 2
|
|
|
Transition Metals
|
These Metals have a moderate range of reactivity and a wide range of properties. In general, they are shiny and good conductors of heat and electricity. They also have higher densities and melting points than groups 1 & 2. (2 valence electrons; d block)
|
Groups 3-12
|
|
|
Lanthanides
|
Transition Metals that were taken out and placed at the bottom of the periodic table so that it wouldn't be so wide. Lanthanides are very shiny, and reactive. They share many properties with Actinides. (A.K.A. Intertransition Metals)
|
Period 5
|
|
|
Actinides
|
Transition Metals that were taken out and placed at the bottom of the periodic table so that it wouldn't be so wide. Actinides are all radioactive and are therefore unstable. They share many properties with Lanthanides. (A.K.A. Intertransition Metals)
|
Period 6
|
|
|
Group 13
|
Contains 1 Metalloid and 4 Metals. Reactive. (1 valence electron; electron configuration ends in p^1)
|
Boron, and Aluminum
|
|
|
Group 14
|
Contains 1 Nonmetal, 2 Metalloids, and 2 Metals. The reactivity of elements in this group vary. (2 valence electrons; electron configuration ends in p^2)
|
Carbon
|
|
|
Group 15
|
Contains 2 Nonmetals, 2 Metalloids, and 1 Metal. The reactivity of elements in this group varies. ( 3 valence electrons; electron configuration ends in p^3)
|
Nitrogen
|
|
|
Group 16
|
Contains 3 Nonmetals, 1 Metalloid, and 1 Metal. Reactive. (4 valence electrons; electron configuration ends in p^4)
|
Oxygen
|
|
|
Halogens
|
All Nonmetals. Very Reactive. Poor conductors of heat and electricity. Tend to form salts when reacted with Metals. (5 valence electrons; electron configuration ends in p^5)
|
Group 17
|
|
|
Noble Gases
|
All Nonmetals. Nonreactive. All are colorless, odorless, gases at room temperature. All found in earth's atmosphere in small amounts. (8 valence electrons; electron configuration ends in p^8)
|
Group 18
|
|
|
Metals
|
· Malleable
· Ductile · Good conductors of heat and electricity · Basic · More likely to lose electrons ( + cations) |
|
|
|
Metalloids
|
· Brittle
· Ductile · Good conductors of heat and electricity |
|
|
|
Nonmetals
|
· Brittle
· Not Ductile · Poor conductors of heat and electricity · Acidic · More likely to lose electrons ( - anions) |
