Metals
These elements are shiny, conduct heat and electricity well and are usually solid.
metals
What elements are usually poor conductors of heat and electricity.
Nonmetals
This elements have properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Metalloids
These elements are located in Group 1 of the periodic table.
Alkali metals
Which elements are found in Group 18 of the periodic table?
Noble gases
Metals usually lose electrons and form this type of ion.
Positive ion
Nonmetals usually gain electrons and form this type of ion.
Negative ion
Metalloids are found along this zig zag like line on the periodic table.
Stair step line
What liquid do Alkali metals react strongly when placed in.
Water
Noble gases rarely react because they have a full outer shell of what?
Valence electrons
The side on the periodic table were most metals are located.
Left side
Most nonmetals are located on this side of the periodic table.
Right side
This metalloid is know to be used to make computer chips and electronics.
Silicon
Alkali metals have this number of valence electrons.
One
This noble gas is commonly used to fill balloons because it is lighter than air.
Helium
This metal is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature.
Mercury
This nonmetal gas is necessary for humans to breathe.
Oxygen
Because they partially conduct electricity metalloids are used as these materials in electronics.
Semiconductors
This alkali metal has the symbol Na and can be found in table salt.
Sodium
Which noble gas is the most abundant noble gas in Earth’s atmosphere?
Argon
The ability of metals to be hammered or shaped without breaking is called what?
Malleability
Solid nonmetals usually break easily instead of bending like metals. What is this property is called?
Brittle
This metalloid has the chemical symbol B
Boron
Alkali metals are known for being very reactive with this substances.
Alkali metals
This noble gas has the chemical symbol Ne and is very bright.
Neon
