Objectives Students will be able to classify and identify elements as metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Students will be able to create a pie chart using the elements of the earth’s crust. Students will be able to analyze and describe the chemical changes of a candle.
Review: Classifying Elements Elements can be divided into three main groups: Metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Examples of metals: lead, copper, tin, aluminum, and iron Examples of nonmetals: sulfur, iodine, and oxygen Examples of metalloids: silicon and germanium
Properties of Elements Characteristics of elements you can easily measure or observe: Phase Mass Solubility Color Odor
Physical Properties of metals and nonmetals Metals Good conductors of heat and electricity Shiny in appearance (have luster) Malleable Ductile All metals are solids except mercury (mercury is a liquid) Nonmetals Poor conductors of heat and electricity Dull in appearance (lack luster) Shatter or crumble when struck Nonductile Exist in all three physical states(solid, liquid, & gas)
