Main Element Groups

Metalloids

Metalloids react with Halogens

Metalloids can be combined with metals to created alloys

Metalloids easily form gases

Metalloids are all solids

they are brittle

Metalloids have an appearance similar to metals

Non-Metals

form compounds with metals

does not react with water

Low melting and boiling points

Nonmetals are some of the most important elements non-mailable non-ductile

Metals

Low energy because of atoms in the valence shell

Metals have a large atomic blast

Metals have high melting points

Metals can be deformed without breaking

Shiny, Solid, Room temp, except for mercury because mercury is a liquid

Noble Gases

Noble Gases Helium, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, Radon, Neon

low pressure causes noble gases to conduct electricity

Noble Gases have high amounts of energy

Noble gases have low boiling points

The Noble Gases are tasteless, odorless, colorless, and non- flammable gases

Halogens

halogens have the highest rate of atoms pairing

halogens have the ability to gain electrons really quick

some halogens can be extremely toxic

halogens means salt producing and they produce salt

Halogens include solids, gases, and liquids

Transition Metals

they form compounds with the loss of electrons

a strong tendency

solid, hard, and mailable

high boiling and melting points

out of all the groups transition metals are the hardest to identify

Alkaline Earth Metals

they react with halogens

most Alkaline elements form a corrosive hydroxide

they have high melting and boiling points

they are hard to scratch

they are grey and luster when cut

Alkaline earth metals are good at conducting electricity

Alkali Metals

Alkali Metals Sodium, Potassium, Lithium, Caesium, Rubidium

Chemical properties

Alkali Metals reacts to a lot of nonmetals

Alkali Metal has the least amount of shared metals of all the elements

Physical Properties

Alkali Metals are mailable and lustre and are ductile

Alkali Metals have high melting points

Every Alkali Metal has a electron in it's outer shell.
