Metals
This general property describes most metals’ ability to be hammered into thin sheets.
What is malleable?
Nonmetals are typically poor conductors of heat and electricity, so they are called this.
What are insulators?
Metalloids have properties of both of these two main classification groups.
What are metals and nonmetals?
Alkali metals are found in which group number?
What is Group 1?
Halogens are in Group 17 and have this many valence electrons.
What is seven?
Most metals are this at room temperature, with one main exception.
What is solid?
Most nonmetals are in this state of matter at room temperature.
What is gas?
This is the most well‑known metalloid, used in almost all computer chips.
What is silicon?
Alkaline earth metals are found in this group number.
What is Group 2?
Noble gases are in Group 18 and have this type of outer electron shell.
What is full or stable?
Metals are good conductors of these two forms of energy.
What are heat and electricity?
When nonmetals bond with metals, they usually do this with valence electrons.
What is gain electrons?
Metalloids are semiconductors, meaning their ability to conduct electricity can be this.
What is controlled or changed?
Alkali metals have this many valence electron.
What is one?
Halogens are very reactive because they need this many electrons to become stable.
What is one?
When metals react with nonmetals, they tend to do this with their valence electrons.
What is lose electrons?
This nonmetal is the most abundant element in the human body and Earth’s crust.
What is oxygen?
Name one of the six commonly recognized metalloids on the periodic table.
What is boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, or tellurium?
Both alkali and alkaline earth metals react strongly with this common substance.
What is water?
Noble gases rarely form compounds because they are chemically this.
What is inert or unreactive?
This group makes up about 80% of the periodic table and includes transition and post‑transition types.
What are metals?
Solid nonmetals are usually this, meaning they break or crumble easily.
What is brittle?
Metalloids are located along this zig‑zag line on the periodic table.
What is the staircase line?
Alkaline earth metals have this many valence electrons and form +2 ions.
What is two?
This group includes chlorine, bromine, and iodine and means “salt‑forming.”
What are halogens?
