Learn about the characteristics of metals, nonmetals, and metalloids and how they relate to trends in atomic radius, ionization energy, and electron affinity.
E N D
Periodic Trends Section 8.6-8.8
Objectives • Review the characteristics in metals, nonmetals, and metalloids • Relate these characteristics to trends in atomic radius/ ionization energy/electron affinity
Key Terms • Metallic character • Nonmetallic character
Metallic Character • Degree to which an element exhibits the physical and chemical properties of a metal.
Metals • Lustrous, malleable, ductile, good conductors • All solids except liquid Hg
Metals • LOW Ionization energy form positive ions easily • Ionization energy decreases as metallic character increases
Ionic Compounds • Form between metal and nonmetal • Metal oxides are bases • Metal oxide + H2O metal hydroxide [7.9] Ionizes in water, freeing up the metal and O • Metal oxide + acid salt + H2O [7.12]
Nonmetals • Dull, brittle, nonconductors (insulators). • Gases: H, N, O, F, Cl, noble gases • Liquid: Br • KNOW PHYSICAL STATES OF ALL THE ELEMENTS!!
Nonmetals • HIGH electron affinities gain electrons and become negative ions
Molecular Compound • Nonmetals with nonmetals • Nonmetal oxides (CO2 or SO2) are acidic • The more nonmetallic= more acidic the oxide • Nonmetal oxide + H2O acid [7.14] No dissociation (molecular) • Nonmetal oxide + base salt + H2O [7.16]
Metalloids • Characteristics of both metals and nonmetals. • Shiny, brittle • All solids • Semiconductors • KNOW THEM!!
Overall Reactivity • The most reactive metals are the largest since they are the best electron givers. • The most reactive nonmetals are the smallest ones, the best electron takers.

Group Trends Active Metals
Group Trends: Alkali Metals • ns1 • Very reactive • Exist in nature only as compounds • Soft metallic solids • Na and K most abundant in Earth’s crust and biological systems • Physical properties: Table 7.4 on p. 281
Alkali Metals React with… • Hydrogen to form hydrides [7.17] • Sulfur to form sulfides [7.18] • H2O to form metal hydroxide and H2 [7.19] • Oxygen • Li forms metal oxide [7.20] • Na forms metal peroxide [7.21] • K, Rb, and Cs form superoxides [7.22]
The Alkaline Earth Metals • ns2 • Solids • Harder and more dense than alkali • Table 7.5 on p. 285 • Less reactive than alkali • Be and Mg are the least reactive
Alkaline Earth Metals Reactivity • Be does not react with water or steam • Mg does not react with water, reacts with steam • Mg(s) + H2O (g) MgO(s) +H2 (g) [7.23] • All others react with water to form metal hydroxides and H2 [7.24]
The Alkaline Earth Metals • Heavier alkaline earth ions give off characteristic colors when heated • Ca = brick red • Sr = crimson red • Ba = green
The Alkaline Earth Metals • Mg and Ca essential to growth and maintenance of the human body • 99% of Ca in body is in skeletal system
Group Trends Selected Nonmetals
Hydrogen 1s1 • Nonmetallic element in a class by itself- metallic inside the stars & Jovian planets • Most abundant element in the universe • Forms explosive mixtures with oxygen/halogens • Reacts with metals to form hydrides [7.17] • Loses it’s e- in H2O to form H+ ions
Chalcogens, ns2 np4 • O, S, and Se are nonmetallic • Te is a metalloid • Po is a radioactive, rare metal • Two allotropes of O (O2 and O3) • O is a great oxidizer • S has many allotropes • S8 is the most common • S reacts with almost every metal to form sulfides
Halogens, ns2,np5 • Nonmetals • Salt formers • At is rare and radioactive • All very reactive; not found in free form. • Cl has the most industrial use • Reactivity: F2 > Cl2 > Br2 > I2
Noble Gases, ns2,np6 . • Each of these elements has a full octet • Used to be the inert gases • They are all unreactive • Except XeF2, XeF4, XeF6 (Bartlett, 1962) • Recently KrF2; HArF (stable at low temp) • He is commercially available-very expensive • Ar is more common-less than 1% of the air
