  1. II. Section 2 metals

  2. A. What is a Metal? • Based on the properties of hardness, shininess, malleability and ductility • Malleable- pounded into shapes • Ductile- pulled into a wire • Conductors- transmit heat and electricity easily • Magnetic- attracted to magnets • Wide range of chemical properties

  3. B. Alloys • Alloy- mixture of metals • Combine properties of other metals to be made useful

  4. C. Metals in the Periodic Table • Metals in the periodic table have similar properties within families • Alkali metals- reactive not found uncombined in nature • Only found as compounds not elements • So reactive because of valence electrons • Alkaline earth metals- not found uncombined in nature

  5. 6. Transition metals- form a bridge between reactive and non reactive metals 7. Some metals are mixed in groups 8. Lanthanides- actinides rare earth elements 9. Uranium used in power plants
