 Objectives 2

● Understand the two main groupings of

elements as metals and non-metals;
● Differentiate metals and non-metals,
referring to their physical properties.
+
 Metal Elements
● The majority elements
in the periodic table
are metals.
● This includes alkali
metals, transition
metals, lanthanides,
actinides and alkaline
earth metals.
 Non-metal Elements
● Nonmetals are (usually)
poor conductors of heat
and electricity, and are not
malleable or ductile.
● Many of the elemental
nonmetals are gases at
room temperature, while
others are liquids and
others are solids.

Physical Properties
Metal Elements Non-metal Elements

● Shiny (lustrous) in nature ● Poor conductors of electricity

● Metal is a good conductor of and heat
electricity and heat ● Non-Ductile metals
● Density and melting point is high ● Brittle solids
● Mouldable (Malleable) ● Maybe solids, liquids or gases at
● Ductile room temperature
● At room temperature, it is in solid ● These are not sonorous
form except for mercury ● Transparent
● Opaque

Chemical Properties
Metal Elements
● Easily corrodible (destroy)
● Can lose electrons
● Form basic oxides
● Have low electronegativities
● Good reducing agents
2
Non-metal Elements
● The number of electrons in
the outer shell is generally
4-8
● Easily gain or lose valence
electrons
● Form acidic oxides whenever
they come in contact with
oxygen
● High electronegative
elements
● Great oxidizing agents
 Let’s Read!
1. Read the “Science in Context” in your textbook, page
92-93.
2. After reading, answer the following guide questions on
your notebook:
a. What is graphite?

Physical Properties of Materials
Surface Appearance

Shiny Dull Rough Smooth

Physical Properties of Materials

Rigid
● It cannot be bent or
squashed.
Physical Properties of Materials

Flexible
● It can be bent or
squashed and can back
to its original shape.
 Physical Properties of Materials

Hard or Soft
● Hard surface which
makes the materials
rigid and sponge soft
feeling due to
flexibility.
Physical Properties of Materials
Malleability
● A malleable material can be shaped by hammering or by pressing,
without the material cracking.
● Golds silver and copper are malleable. They can bent to form such as
necklaces, bangles and earrings.
 Physical Properties of Materials
Absorbent
● Absorbent materials has
holes in its surface through
which water can pass and
spaces inside where the
water can collect.
● Sandstone, limestone are
absorbent rocks since they
have holes called pores.
 Physical Properties of Materials
Waterproof
● It is the material that won’t less the
water pass through it.
● Water-resistant materials - made of
fibres through which the water could
pass. But if it’s coated with silicon,
water won’t pass through. Used to make
umbrellas, outdoor jackets and
trousers.
● Water repellent materials - doesn’t
have any holes, used to make rain
boots.
 Physical Properties of Materials
Transparent
● It lets the light pass through it
without the light rays being
scattered.
● We can see objects clearly in a
transparent materials.
● Air and water are transparent
materials.
● But in solid, glass and plastic
materials are examples of
transparent materials.
 Physical Properties of Materials

Translucent
● It lets light pass through but the
light rays are scattered.
● We cannot see the materials
clearly.
● Use to make bathroom
windows.
 Physical Properties of Materials

Opaque
● Opaque materials do not let
the light pass through.
● Opaque materials are useful
in making sunshades.
Physical Properties of Materials
Heat Conductor
● It allows the heat to
pass through it.
 Physical Properties of Materials
Heat Insulator
● It does not let the heat pass
through it because the heat
particles do not pass easily from
one to net.
● Good insulators are also known
as bad conductors.
 Physical Properties of Materials

Electrical Conductor
● It allows the electrical current to flow.
 Physical Properties of Materials

Electrical Insulator
● It does not allow the electrical current to flow.
 Property Profiles

● It is the description of a material in terms of its properties.

● What are the things we need to check if we are looking
for flexible materials?
○ Shape of materials
● What are the things we need to check if we are looking
for transparent materials?
○ If the light passes through, but the light rays are not
scattered.
