Two major groups of elements • Found on the periodic table • Metals are located to the left of the zigzag line • Nonmetals are located to the right of the zigzag line
Physical Properties of Metals • 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 • High Density – Heavy for their size • Metals are solid, except for mercury
Physical Properties of NonMetals • Dull – not shiny • Nonconductors – heat and electricity do not move through easily • Brittle – break easily • Most nonmetals are gases at room temperature
Lets Classify! ________ Silver ______ Iron ________ Oxygen ______ Calcium _________ Carbon ______ Sulfur _________ Aluminum _______ Sodium
