Properties
A getting to know you session of the elements.

2. Physical Properties
Aspects of an object or substance that can be observed and/or measured without changing it.
E.g. The boiling point of water is 100 °C.

3. Physical Properties
Melting point: the temperature at which a solid changes into a liquid.
Boiling point: the temperature at which a liquid changes into a gas.

4. Physical Properties
Conductivity: the ability of a substance to allow heat or an electric current to flow through it.
Solubility: the degree to which a substance will enter into solution (dissolve).
Malleable: if a material can be hammered into sheets.

5. Physical Properties Ductile: if a material can be drawn into a wire.
Hardness: the ability of a material to resist scratching or denting.
Flexible or brittle: a material’s ability to bend easily or snap when bent.
Lustre: a material’s ability to reflect light especially when polished. I.e. shiny or dull.

7. Metals

8. Metals Metals have the following properties:
Solid at room temperature (except mercury)
High melting and boiling points (except mercury)
Are malleable and ductile
Are usually lustrous and can be polished
Metals conduct electricity
Metals are flexible

9. Non-metals

10. Non-metals Non-metals have the following properties:
Usually gases or liquids at room temperature
Low melting and boiling points
Are not malleable or ductile
Do not have a metallic lustre
Are brittle and break when subjected to stress and strain

11. Metalloids

12. Metalloids
Possess some characteristics of metals and some of nonmetals.
Generally they have physical characteristics of a metal, but behave chemically more like non-metals.
