Ionic compounds (cpds) Metals attached to nonmetals Known as formula units NOT TRUE MOLECULES
Molecular Cpds (or Covalent) Nonmetals attached to other nonmetals TRUE MOLECULES
Diatomic elements The 7 diatomic elements are also true molecules.
The rows are called periods The columns are called families or groups Periodic table
Metals • Conduct electricity and heat • Malleable • Ductile • Very reactive and unstable • Silver/grey solids (Exceptions Au/Cu)
Nonmetals • Insulators (don’t conduct heat or electricity) • Brittle solids • Some gases • Not very malleable or ductile
Metalloids • Found along the staircase • Don’t fit neatly into the metal or nonmetal category. • Contain some characteristics of each group.
True metals • Alkali family (First column) • Alkaline Earth family (Second column)
Nonmetals • Noble gases (He family) • Halogens (F family) • Chalcogens (O family)
Transitional metals • Most create very colorful cpds • All are silver or grey solids except Hg (silver liquid), gold (yellow solid) and copper (brown solid). • These have all of the characteristics of true metals but to a lesser degree.
