Meet The Elements
Alkali Metals ● Alkali metals are reactive metals ● Alkali metals only have one electron ● Alkali metals will combust if they are exposed to water 1. Cesium 2. Francium 3. Lithium 4. Sodium 5. Rubidium
Alkali Earth Metals ● All Alkali Earth Metals have +2 oxidation ● Alkali Earth Metals are very reactive ● Alkali Earth Metals are not found in nature freely 1. Beryllium 2. Magnesium 3. Calcium 4. Strontium 5. Barium
Noble Gases ● There are 6 Noble Gases ● Noble Gases have a oxidation number of 0 which prevents the noble gases from forming compounds readily ● All of the Noble gases have a max number of electrons they can hold 2 for helium and 8 for the rest of them 1. Helium 2. Neon 3. Argon 4. Krypton 5. Xenon
Halogens ● All Halogens have 7 electrons ● Halogens have a oxidation number of -1 ● At room temp, can be in all three states of matter 1. Fluorine 2. Chlorine 3. Bromine 4. Iodine 5. Astatine
Non Metals ● Non Metals are in groups 14 -16 ● Non Metals can not conduct heat and electricity very well ● Non Metals exist in 2 states of matter at room temp gases and solids 1. Hydrogen 2. Carbon 3. Nitrogen 4. Oxygen 5. Phosphorus
Metalloids ● Metalloids are non-metals and metals ● Metalloids have the properties of metals and non-metals ● Metalloids are conductors 1. Boron 2. Silicon 3. Germanium 4. Arsenic 5. Antimony
Transition Metals ● All Transition Metals are ductile and malleable ● Transition metals are very good conductors ● Some transition metals have a magnetic field 1. Gold 2. Copper 3. Iron 4. Nickle 5. Cobalt
Rare Earth Metals ● Rare Earth Metals are made up of two series of elements ● They are lanthanide and actinide ● Some of o the rare earth metals are man made 1. Lanthanum 2. Cerium 3. Praseodymium 4. Actinium 5. Thorium
Other Metals ● Other Metal elements are ductile and malleable ● Other Metals have oxidation numbers of +3, ± 4, and -3. ● All of the other metals are solids 1. Aluminum 2. Gallium 3. Indium 4. Tin 5. Thallium
