there are more than 100 elements and some have similar properties as shown on the periodic table of elements. Just WHERE are these elements with similar properties?. Where are they located on the Periodic Table of Elements?. Look in your book (p. 604-65) for the zigzag line!.

What are the properties of metals, nonmetals, and metalloids?
Solids at room temp. (except mercury) Most are gases metals ---- nonmetals
higher melting points lower melting points metals ----- nonmetals
malleable (can be pounded & shaped) harder brittle (break easily) Softer than metals metals ---- nonmetals
Ductile (can be drawn into wire) Not ductile metals ---- nonmetals
Has luster (shiny) dull metals ---- nonmetals
Good conductors of heat and electricity Poor conductors (good insulators) metals ---- nonmetals
Have some of the properties of metals and properties of nonmetals Include semiconductors (Used in electronics; can conduct but not as good as metals) Metalloids
Steel is an alloy of iron with about 1 percent carbon. • It may also contain other elements, such as manganese. • Used to make almost everything from skyscraper girders, automobiles, and appliances to thumb tacks and paper clips • steel is one of the world's most vital materials.
