Metals • Location … • Characteristics … • Luster • Malleable & ductile • Conductors of heat & electricity • Lose electrons “cation” (positive)
Nonmetals • Location … • Characteristics … • Dull • Brittle • Insulators • Gain electrons “anions” (negative)
Reactivity • Definition: how quickly an element reacts with another. • Metals … • Down a family • Across a period • Sodium Disaster Clip • Sodium/Potassium Clip • Nonmetals … • Down a family • Across a period
Atomic Size • Definition: the size of the atom • Down a family … • Across a period …
Ionization Energy • Definition: the energy required to remove an electron. • Down a family … • Across a period …
Multiple Ionization Energies • Definition: the energy needed to remove successive electrons. • Example: (all values in KJ/mole) • Mg 1st - 735 2nd -1445 3rd -7730 • Al 1st -580 2nd -1815 3rd - 2740 4th – 11,600
Electronegativity • Definition: the relative ability of an atom in a molecule to attract shared electrons to itself. • Down a family … • Across a period …
