Aim: What are the 3 classes of elements?
Do Now: 1. Pass down HW. 2. Take out a PEN and put everything away.

Review 1.Metals Alkali Metals Alkaline Earth Metals Transition Metals
Inner Transition Metals 2.Metalloids 3.Nonmetals Halogen Noble Gases

Alkali Metals and Alkaline Earth Metal
Alkaline Earth Metals Group 1 Most active metals in the periodic table All react vigorously with water to produce H2(g) They are shiny, have the consistency of clay, and are easily cut with a knife. Reactivity increases as you go down this group Group 2 Second most active metals **Note: Hydrogen is a nonmetal**
6
Sodium + Water
8
Transition Metals and Inner Transition Metals
The elements in Groups 3 through 12 Typically hard solids with high melting points, with the exception of mercury Form colored compounds. Are good conductors of heat and electricity. Can be hammered or bent into shape easily.(malleable) Are less reactive than alkali metals such as sodium.
9
Transition Metals in Compounds
11
Metalloids They can be found adjacent to the stair-step line in the periodic table. Have physical properties similar to those of metals and chemical properties nonmetals. Solids Can be shiny or dull Ductile Malleable Conduct heat and electricity better than nonmetals but not as well as metals
12
Metalloids Cont. boron (B), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), tellurium (Te), and polonium (Po) are the elements found along the step like line between metals and non-metals of the periodic table. HIGHLIGHT YOUR METALLOIDS. THEY SEPARATE YOUR METALS AND NONMETALS
14
Halogens Group 17 Halogens have 7 valence electrons, which explains why they are the most active non-metals Have low melting points and boiling points Chemical reactivity decreases as you go down the group Form diatomic molecules
15
Properties of Halogens
Reactivity decreases as you go down a group.
18
Noble Gases Group 18 Colorless gases
Do not chemically react with other elements (inert or stable) because of full outer shell Are monoatomic
20
Metallic Character The metallic character of an element can be defined as how readily an atom can lose an electron. Metallic characteristics decrease from left to right across a period, and increase down a group.
