2. metals Are generally shiny when they are smooth & clean
They are solids at room temperature
Good conductors of heat & electricity
Malleable & ductile
On periodic table, to the left of the metalloids
Loses electrons to form positive ions
Make up ¾ of all known elements
Mostly found in group A & B elements

3. Pictures of Metals

4. nonmetals On periodic table, to the right of metalloids
They are generally gases or brittle, dull- looking solids
Poor conductors of heat and electricity
Bromine is in a liquid state at room temperature, but the others are gases
Gain electrons to form negative ions
Highly reactive group 7A elements: halogens
Extremely nonreactive group 8A elements: noble gases

6. metalloids
Elements with chemical and physical properties of both metal and nonmetals
They are located on the border “stair step” line on the periodic table
Silicon and Germanium are the two most important and are mainly used in computer chips & solar cells
