1. Metals, Nonmetals and Metalloids

2. Use this to color the Periodic Table on your table. Glue in journal!

3. Notice the difference between the appearance of the metals and nonmetals. Click here for a better view of each of the elements.here

4. Periodic Table  A great deal of information about an element can be gathered from its position on the period table.  Understanding the organization and plan of the periodic table will help you obtain basic information about each of the 118 known elements.

5. Properties of Metals Metals have luster. This means they are shiny

6. Properties A material that is shiny and reflective. LUSTER Is it shiny or dull?

7. Malleablility metals can be h ammered or rolled into sheets nonmalleable= Brittle

8. Ductile A material that can be pulled out or drawn into long wires

9. Properties Conductors The ability of an object to conductors of electricity and heat Thermal Conductor- heat Electric Conductor-electric current

10. Elements The elements, alone or in combinations, make up our bodies, our world, our sun, and in fact, the entire universe.

11. Physical properties of METALS Metals are SOLIDS. (except mercury) Metals are HARD. (except Lithium, Potassium, Sodium)

12. Physical Properties of METALS Metals have shiny luster. (or metallic luster) LUSTER – the way an object’s surface reflects light

13. Physical Properties of METALS Metals are good conductors of electricity. Copper, silver, and gold are good electrical conductors. In a conductor, electric current can flow freely. Since metals have free electrons, they can carry a charge easily. Copper Wiring

14. Physical Properties of METALS Metals are malleable. Malleable or Malleability - metals ability to be shaped or formed as by hammering or pressure; can be beaten into thin sheets Aluminum is malleable.

15. Physical Properties of METALS Metals are ductile. Ductility or ductile – can be drawn into a wire

16. Examples of NONMETALS Non metals may be solids, liquids or gases. Examples: Solids – Carbon, Sulfur, Phosphorus Liquid – Bromine Gases – Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen

17. Physical Properties of NONMETALS Nonmetals have a dull luster. (They are not shiny!) Example: Phosphorus

18. Physical Properties of NONMETALS Nonmetals are insulators. They do not conduct electricity or heat well. The atoms in nonmetals do not have loose electrons. Therefore, when electricity, or something hot touches a non-metal, the energy does not move quickly through the material. What would you rather stir a hot pot with—a wooden spoon or a metal spoon?

19. Physical Properties of NONMETALS Nonmetals are soft (except for diamonds and brittle. Example: Sulfur

20. An interesting element: Carbon Ever break the point of your pencil? That’s because it’s made of graphite, a substance made up completely of Carbon—a brittle nonmetal. Carbon atoms in graphite However diamonds, the hardest material of all, are made of the same element: Carbon. Look at how the carbon atoms are arranged in diamonds—why do you think diamonds are harder than graphite?

21. METALLOIDS The elements contained in the classification of Metalloids:

22. METALLOIDS Elements classified as Metalloids have physical properties of both metals and non-metals. Some are shiny, some are dull, they are somewhat malleable and ductile, and can conduct heat and electricity at a lesser level than metals. BORON SILICON ARSENIC

23. METALLOIDS Some metalloids are useful semiconductors, which are used in electronics (radio, computers, telephones, etc.) They are useful because they conduct just the right amount of electricity or heat.

24. Where do we find METALS? Some metals like gold, silver, and platinum are found as pure substances in the earth’s crust because they are least reactive. Most metals are reactive and are found as oxides (react with oxygen), carbonates (react with carbon), sulfides (react with sulfur). Minerals : are elements or compounds which occur naturally inside the earth’s crust. Ore : is a mineral from which metals can be extracted profitably.
