The document compares different types of metals based on their characteristics, reactiveness, and natural occurrence. It groups metals into categories such as alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, and metals in mixed groups. Within each category, it outlines key properties like hardness, density, melting points, and whether they are found in nature in elemental or compound forms due to their reactivity.

Metals Characteristics Reactiveness Nature Exposition Shiny Because of his reactiveness, Very Soft they are never found as Alkali Metals Low densities and low Very reactive uncombined elements in nature. melting points. Found only in compounds.
Harder and denser, and
Because of his Alkaline Earth melt at higher Metals temperatures than the Very reactive reactiveness, they are never found in nature. Alkali Metals. Hard Very malleable Transition metals are found everywhere Shiny Transition Often they have: high melting Less reactive than AM on Earth in various amounts. Most are points and high densities. not found in a pure substance, but Metals Has Thermal conductivity. and AEM rather in compounds buried in the Has Electrical conductivity. Earth's crust.
Metals such as, Aluminium; are
Metals in durable but light.
Thin, is a metal used for avoiding Very reactive Rarely found uncombined in nature. mixed groups corrosion in steel objects. Lead, is poisonous.
Silvery-white metals that tarnish
when exposed to air, forming their The lanthanide series can be Lathanides oxides. Relatively soft metals. Very reactive. found naturally on Earth. High melting points and boiling points.
All are radioactive. These
Many of these elements are elements have no stable isotopes. Actinides Actinides are highly Very reactive. not found in nature, but are artificially in laboratories. electropositive.
