Alkali Metals Elements Solids: Lithium Potassium Sodium Rubidium Cesium Francium
Characteristics Soft Dull silver color Low density Low melting point Reacts w/ halogens to form salts Reacts w/ water to form strong alkaline hydroxides Alkali Metals (cont.)
Alkaline Earth Metals Elements Solids Beryllium Magnesium Calcium Strontium Barium Radium
Characteristics Soft Shiny silver color Low density Found naturally as a compound Glow different colors Reacts w/ halogens to form ionic salts Alkaline Earth Metals (cont.)
Transition Metals Elements Solids All “D-block” elements Atomic numbers 21-30 39-48 57, 72-80 89, 104-112
Characteristics High density High melting / boiling point Good catalysts Hard, tough & strong Silvery blue at room temp. Multiple oxidation states Transition Metals (cont.)
Other Metals Elements Solids Aluminum Gallium Indium Tin Thallium Lead Bismuth
Characteristics Relatively high density Salts Solids Opaque color Malleable Oxidation numbers +3, +4, -3 Other Metals (cont.)
Metalloids Elements Solids Boron Silicon Germanium Arsenic Antimony Tellurium Polonium
Characteristics Some shiny Some dull Malleable Ductile Has properties of both metals and nonmetals Metalloids (cont.)
