metals Metals are found on the _____________ of the periodic table. There are __________ metals than non-metals Common properties of metals include: Malleable: this means they can be bent and bashed into shape Ductile: this means they can be drawn out into thin wires Conductors: this means they allow heat and electricity to travel along them Shiney: they are reflective of light Usually grey: most metals are a grey colour Solid at room temperature: except mercury (liquid)

Non-metals Common properties of non-metals include: Brittle: this means they break easily if hit Various colours: non-metals come in many colours Insulators: most non-metals are non-conductors, an exception is graphite (C), it is an excellent conductor of electricity. Solids, liquids and gases: non-metals come in all different states. Bromine (Br) is the only naturally occurring liquid non-metal.

Encarta Answer each one as you go, we will do this as a class by looking up the information together 1. What are the physical properties of metals? 2. Which elements are considered to have both metal and non-metal properties? these are also known as semi-metals. 3. What are some of the chemical properties/reactions of metals (list at least 3 different reactions)? 4. Type in the word non-metals: What are some of the properties of non-metals?
