3 Main Sections of the Periodic Table Metals Non-metals Metalloids
Metals 1 18 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17
Metals: Physical properties Luster = level of shine Malleable = able to be hammered into thin sheets Ductile = able to be pulled into thin wires Good conductors
Metals: Chemical properties Some are very chemically reactive and some are moderately reactive Undergoes corrosion: eating away the metal during a chemical reaction
Non-metals 1 18 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Non-metals: Physical properties Dull Brittle Poor conductors
Non-metals: Chemical properties Most very chemically reactive Group 18 noble gases are not reactive at all
Metalloids 1 18 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17
Metalloids: Physical properties Some are shiny and some are dull Brittle but harder Some are good conductors and some are poor
Metalloids: Chemical properties Medium chemical reactivity
