1. Characteristics of the P table “neighborhoods”
I will pass out new blank p-tables for these notes

2. Metals DUCTILE (able to be drawn out into a thin wire)
Metals are:
DUCTILE (able to be drawn out into a thin wire)
MALEABLE (able to be pressed or hammered permanently without breaking or cracking)
GOOD CONDUCTORS OF HEAT
GOOD CONDUCTORS OF ELECTRICITY

3. Transition metals DUCTILE MALEABLE GOOD CONDUCTORS OF HEAT
GOOD CONDUCTORS OF ELECTRICITY
Have high melting and boiling points.
Called transition metals because they are the elements on the p table that are transitioning into bonding using their D orbitals

4. Metalloids
Possess some of the qualities of metals and some qualities of non-metals.
Often good semi-conductors
A semi conductor has electrical conductivity somewhere in between a great conductor like copper and an insulator, like glass. Semi conductors are at the foundation of modern electronics – an understanding of them has enabled us to make faster and more complex microprocessors and memory devices.

5. Non-metals
Carbon
Sulfur

6. Non-metals Poor conductors of heat and electricity
Dull, brittle solids
Most gasses at room temp
Low Density
Low Melting point
Not Malleable
Not Ductile
Like to react with metals
