1 Unit: Chemistry Lesson 3: Metals Essential Questions: 1.) What are the properties of metals? 2.) How are metals classified?

2 Metals Many of the objects around you contain metals. What are the objects that will set off the metal detector?

3 Elements that are good Metals conductors of electric current and heat. They tend to be shiny and bendable.  The majority of elements in the periodic table are metals.

4 Physical Properties Shininess and Luster reflectivity Ability to be rolled into Malleable flat sheets or shapes Ability to be drawn into Ductile long wires

5 Ability of an object Thermal conductivity to transfer heat Ability of an object Electrical conductivity to carry electric current

6 Chemical Properties The ease and speedReactivity in which an element combines or reacts with another substance Sodium reacts strongly with water.

7 The deterioration ofCorrosion metal due to a chemical reaction When iron gates react with oxygen in the air they form rust.

8 How are metals classified? Alkali Metals  Group 1  The most reactive  Found only in compounds  Melt at low temperatures Elements such as lithium, copper, and potassium give fireworks their colors.

9 Alkali Metals

10 Alkaline Earth Metals  Group 2  Harder and denser  Melt at higher temperatures  Not as reactive Calcium compounds are an essential part of teeth and bones.

11 Alkaline Earth Metals

12 Transition Metals  Groups 3-12  Good conductors of heat and electric current  Malleable  Less reactive than metals The gold film on an astronaut's visor protects from the sun.

13 Transition Metals

14 Metals in Mixed Groups  Only some elements in Groups 13-16 are metals. Aluminum Lead

15 Mixed Metals

16 Lanthanides and Actinides  Found in the two rows below the main table.  Row 1- Lanthanides (used to make laser lights)  Row 2- Actinides (many are made in labs) Lanthanides are used to produce laser lights in range finders. It uses a laser beam to determine distance.

17 Lanthanides Actinides

18 Transuranium Elements  Elements that follow uranium in the periodic table.  Particle accelerators are used to create these elements. Particle accelerators are used to make elements.

19 Transuranium Elements
