metals and nonmetals.
 Germanium, with an atomic number of 32, is
not a metal or a non-metal, but a metalloid.

Metalloids are found in between metals and non-
metals on the periodic table. Their position
tells us that they have some of the
characteristics of metals and some
characteristics of non-metals. For example,
germanium conducts electricity, but not as well
as true metals.
 Elements are organized in the periodic table in
such a way that there are patterns of elements
placed close together that have similar properties.
For example, knowing the properties of one
element in a column of the periodic table will help
a person predict the properties of other elements
in that same column.
–Describe two properties common to elements
found at the far left of the periodic table.
–Describe two properties common to elements
found at the far right of the periodic table.

On the far left side of the periodic table the
elements are all metals. So, they are
solids at room temperature and are good
conductors of heat and electricity.
One the far right side of the periodic
table, the elements are gases at room
temperature. They are colorless and
non-reactive.
