Guess Who
My group isnt really a group. We are a jumbo collection of metals that are sort of reactive but not as reactive as group 1 or 2.
Transition metals
I'm the group along the zig zag lines that shares characteristics with both metals and nonmetals
Metalloids
Chromium
Cr
What group is hydrogen is?
Hydrogen stands alone. It is not in not in any part of any group
Fe
Iron
Transition metal
I'm the group of elements that does not react easily at all.
Noble gases
These two groups often combine together in nature (Think salts!)
Halogens and Alkali metals
Copper
Cu
They share properties with metals and non-metals
Au
Gold
Transtion metal
I'm group 17 and I am never found uncombined in nature
Halogens
Inert gases because they do not react
Silver
Ag
What is a semi-conductor?
special materials that conduct electricity under some conditions and not others
Ra
Radium
Alkali Earth Metal
We are two groups that are pulled out of the periodic table to save space
The rare earth metals
(Lanthanides and actinides)
We react violently with water. As you go down our group, the reaction is more and more volatile.
Alkali metals
Tin
Sn
Name 3 main characteristics of metals
Conduct heat well
Conduct electricity well
Malleable/ductile
Lustrous
As
Arsenic
Metalloid
I am a group that is very reactive. We tarnish easily and are very electo-conductive. My group are all pretty similar!
Lanthanides
I'm a very unstable and radioctive group. Almost all of the elements in my group are lab-made
Actinides
Tungsten
W
Name the 4 main characteristics that all nonmetals share
Dull surfaces
Not malleable
Poor conductors (heat or electrical current)
Good insulators
Pu
Plutonium
Actinide
