The columns on the periodic table are called groups. • The rows are called periods. • What group and period are carbon and tungsten in?
Metals. Vs. Non-Metals MetalsNon-Metals good conductors poor conductors have luster lack luster high density low density high melting point low melting point malleable not malleable ductile not ductile lose e- gain e- corrode easily brittle Metalloids are elements that have chemical and physical properties of metals and non-metals. They are located on the stair-step line.
Group Names • Group 1: Alkali Metals • Group 2: Alkaline Earth Metals • Group 13: Boron Group • Group 14: Carbon Group • Group 15: Pnictogens • Group 16: Chalcogens • Group 17: Halogens • Group 18: Noble Gases
Alkali Metals • Found in group 1A or 1 • The most reactive metals • Explode on contact with air or water • Increase in reactivity as you go down the group • Soft enough to cut with a knife
Alkaline Earth Metals • Found in group 2A or 2 • Also very reactive metals, but less so • Increase in reactivity as you go down the group • Harder than the Alkali metals
Transition Metals • Found in the depressed area of the periodic table • Make up the largest portion of the periodic table • Tend to be stable
Halogens • Found in group 7A or 17 • Another very reactive group of elements – the most reactive nonmetals
Noble Gases • Found in group 8A or 18 • Most stable group of elements because they have a full valance shell
