Section 3:Metals

What are the physical properties of metals?How does the reactivity of metals change across the periodic table?

Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table

Properties of MetalsPhysical Properties

• Luster—shiny or reflective

• Malleability—can be shaped without breaking

• Ductility—can be stretched or rolled out

• Conductivity—electricity and heat move through it

Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table

Properties of MetalsChemical Properties

• React by losing electrons

• Are less reactive toward the center of the table

• Many corrode with air or water

Properties of Metals

Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table

Metals in the Periodic TableAlkali Metals• Group 1• Lose 1 electron in reactions• Most reactive metals• Very soft

Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table

Metals in the Periodic TableAlkaline-Earth Metals• Group 2• Lose 2 electron in reactions• 2nd most reactive metals• Hard, grey-white, good conductors of electricity

Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table

Melting Points in a Group of Elements

The properties of elements within a single group in the periodic table often vary in a certain pattern. The following graph shows the melting points of Group 1 elements (alkali metals) from lithium to francium.

Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table

Melting Points in a Group of Elements

Melting points decrease from lithium to francium.

Reading Graphs:

As you look at Group 1 from lithium to francium, describe how the melting points of the alkali metals change.

Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table

Melting Points in a Group of Elements

New element 119 should have a melting point of approximately 25ºC or lower.

Predicting:

If element number 119 were synthesized, it would fall below francium in Group 1 of the periodic table. Predict the approximate melting point of new element 119.

Melting Points in a Group of Elements

Cesium, francium

Interpreting Data:

Which of the alkali metals are liquids at 35ºC?

Section 4:Nonmetals, Inert

Gases, and Semimetals

What are the properties of nonmetals and inert gases?

Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table

Properties of NonmetalsPhysical Properties

• Opposite of metals

• Most are gases

• Solids are poor conductors, dull, brittle

Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table

Properties of NonmetalsChemical Properties

• Gain or share electrons when reacting

• The basis for living things.

Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table

Families of NonmetalsCarbon Family• Gain or share 4 electrons when reacting• Carbon is essential to molecules of life.

Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table

Families of NonmetalsNitrogen Family• Gain or share 3 electrons when reacting• More reactive than the carbon family

Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table

Families of NonmetalsOxygen Family• Gain or share 2 electrons when reacting• More reactive than the nitrogen family

Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table

Families of NonmetalsHalogenFamily• Gain or share 1 electrons when reacting• Most reactive of ALL element groups• Salt forming elements

Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table

Families of NonmetalsInert (AKA Nobel) Gases• Do NOT react • Last to be discovered

Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table

Families of NonmetalsHydrogen• NOT in any family of elements• Will lose or share its only electron in reactions• Most pure hydrogen found in stars
