Building Blocks of Matter The fundamental building blocks of matter are atoms and molecules. These particles make up elements and compounds.
Atoms and Elements An atom is the smallest unit of an element that maintains the chemical identity of that element. An element is a pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler, stable substances and is made of one type of atom.
The Periodic Table Elements are arranged vertically into groups that share common chemical properties.
The Periodic Table Elements are also organized horizontally into rows, or periods.
Alkali Metals The elements on the left side of the table (Groups 1 and 2) are reactive metals The elements of group 1 are known as the alkali metals.
Alkaline-earth Metals The elements of Group 2 are called alkaline-earth metals. Alkaline-earth metals are also too reactive to be found in nature as pure elements.
Transition Elements Transition elements are metals They are good conductors of electricity Unreactive Ex: Gold
Halogens. Halogens are the most reactive nonmetals.
Noble Gases Unreactive
Metalloids Metalloids: B, Si, Ge, Ar, Sb, Te Properties between metals and nonmetals
