Elements are identified by 3 main categories Metals Nonmetals Metalloids Periodic Table Unit 1
Elements Metals Metals are elements that are usually shiny and good conductors of electricity and heat. Unit 1
Elements Nonmetals • Usually dull and poor conductors of heat and electric current. Unit 1
Elements • Nonmetals are located to the right of the “zig zag line” on the Periodic Table. Unit 1
Elements Metalloids Share properties of both metals and nonmetals. • Can be shiny or dull. Unit 1
Elements • Metalloids touch the “zig zag line” on the Periodic Table. • Examples: Silicon (Si) Arsenic (As). Unit 1
Introduction to the Periodic Table Dimitri Mendeleev discovered a pattern to the elements in the periodic table in 1869. www.astrosurf.org/lombry/ quantique-histoire.htm Unit 1
Introduction to the Periodic Table • Groups – Vertical columns on the periodic table. Also called families. All of the elements in a group have similar properties. • Periods – Horizontal rows of elements on the periodic table. P Unit 1
