PowerPoint Presentation - Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids

1
The Periodic Table of Elements
2
Elements

• Science has come along way since four element
  theory of Air, Water, Fire, and Earth.
• Scientists have identified 92 Natural elements,
  and created about 28 others.

3
Elements
The elements, alone or in combinations, make up
our bodies, our world, our sun, and in fact, the
entire universe.
4
Periodic Table

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

Metals
7
Properties of Metals
Metals appear to the left of the dark ziz-zag
line on the periodic table. Metals are solid at
room temperature, except for mercury. .
8
Properties of Metals
Metals have luster. This means they are shiny
9
Properties of Metals
Ductile metals can be drawn into wire.
10
Properties of Metals
Malleable metals can be hammered into sheets
11
Properties of Metals
Metals have a high melting point. They are also
very dense (Heavy for their size).
12
Properties of Metals
Conductors Metals are good conductors of
electricity and heat (heat and electricity move
through them easily)
13
Properties of Metals
A chemical property of metal is its reaction with
water and oxygen. This results in corrosion and
rust.
14
Nonmetals
15
Properties of Nonmetals
Nonmetals occur to the right of the dark zig-zag
on the periodic table. Although Hydrogen is in
family 1, it is also a nonmetal. Many nonmetals
are gases at room temperature.
16
Properties of Nonmetals
Nonmetals do not have luster they are dull.
17
Properties of Nonmetals
Brittle Nonmetals are brittle so they break
easily. This means nonmetals ARE NOT ductile or
malleable.
18
Properties of Nonmetals
Nonmetals have low density.
19
Properties of Nonmetals
They also have a low melting point. They are
poor conductors of heat and electricity(heat and
electricity do not move through easily). .
20
Metalloids
21
Properties of Metalloids
Metalloids can be found clustered around the dark
zig-zag line that separates metals and nonmetals.
22
Properties of Metalloids
Metalloids (metal-like) have properties of both
metals and nonmetals.
23
Properties of Metalloids
Metalloids are solids that can be shiny or dull.
24
Properties of Metalloids
They conduct electricity and heat better than
nonmetals but not as well as metals.
25
Properties of Metalloids
Metalloids are malleable and ductile
