The location of metals on the periodic table.
What is the left side of the staircase.
Nonmetals location on the periodic table.
What is to the right of the staircase
Metalloids are located along this on the periodic table.
What is the staircase
Elements in this family are not reactive.
What are noble gases
This means to be repeated in a pattern.
What is periodic
Metals reflect light. They have this property, which means they are shiny.
What is metallic luster
Nonmetals do not have metallic luster because they are this property.
What is dull
Metalloids are in this state at room temperature.
What is solid
This family is the largest in the periodic table
What is transition metals
Mendeleev arranged the elements on his table by this
What is atomic mass
This property means metals can bend, be flattened into to sheets or shaped.
What is malleable
Electricity and heat don't move easily through nonmetals. They are this.
What are poor conductors?
Metalloids are like nonmetals in that they break. This means they are this property.
What is brittle
Elements in this family are soft and can be cut with a knife. They are very reactive.
What are the alkali metals
Today's periodic table is arranged by this.
What is atomic number
Metals are this property, which means electricity and heat move through them well.
What is conductive
Solid nonmetals are not malleable. They are this property.
What is brittle.
Metalloids are like metals in that they reflect light. This means they have this property.
What is metallic luster
This family of nonmetals is very reactive and contain solids, liquids, and gases at room temperature.
What are halogen
Elements in this have similar properties.
What is groups and families
Most metals are this, which means they combine with other substances to create new substances.
What is reactive
Nonmetals are in what state(s) at room temperature
What are solid, liquid, and gas?
Metalloids can conduct electricity but not as well as metals. They are called this.
What are semiconductors
Alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, and transition metals have these 3 properties in common
What are reactivity, malleability, and good conductors of heat and electricity
This element is a halogen in period 4.
What is bromine
