Periodic Table

Properties of Metals
Metals appear to the left of the dark ziz-zag line on the
periodic table.
Most metals are solid at room temperature.
Metals
 Properties of Metals
Metals have luster.
This means they are
shiny
 Properties of Metals
Ductile
metals can be drawn
into wire.
Properties of Metals
Malleable
metals can be
hammered into
sheets
 Properties of Metals

Metals have a high melting point.

They are also very dense.
 Properties of Metals
Conductors:

Metals are good

conductors of
electricity and heat
 Properties of Metals
A chemical property of
metal is its reaction
with water and
oxygen.

This results in
corrosion and rust.
Nonmetals
 Properties of Nonmetals

Nonmetals occur to the right of the dark zig-zag on the periodic table.

Although Hydrogen is in family 1, it is also a nonmetal.

Many nonmetals are gases at room temperature.

Properties of Nonmetals
Nonmetals do not
have luster; they
are dull.
 Properties of Nonmetals
Brittle:
Nonmetals are brittle so
they break easily.

This means nonmetals

ARE NOT ductile or
malleable.
Properties of Nonmetals

Nonmetals have
low density.
 Properties of Nonmetals
They also have a low
melting point.

This is why they are poor

conductors of heat and
electricity.
Metalloids
 Properties of Metalloids

Metalloids can be found clustered around the dark zig-

zag line that separates metals and nonmetals.
Properties of Metalloids
Metalloids (metal-like)
have properties of both
metals and
nonmetals.
Properties of Metalloids

Metalloids are solids that

can be shiny or
dull.
 Properties of Metalloids
They conduct
electricity and
heat better than
nonmetals but not as
well as metals.
Properties of Metalloids

Metalloids are
malleable and
ductile
 Direction: Determine whether Metals,
Nonmetals, & Metalloids
1. Cesium-Shiny 5. Aluminium-malleable
2. Phosphorus-not 6. Iron-conductor of
ductile electricity
3. Sulfur-low density 7. Carbon-dull
4. Arsenic-conductor 8. Antimony- shiny and
electricity but not dull
good as metal. 9. Silicon- malleable and
ductile
