Metals,Non-Metals and Metalloids

1. Periodic Table

2. Metals

3. Properties of Metals
Metals appear to the left of the dark ziz-zag line
on the periodic table. Most metals are solid at
room temperature.

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

5. Properties of Metals
Ductile
metals can be
drawn into wire.

6. Properties of Metals
Malleable
metals can
be hammered
into sheets

7. Properties of Metals
Metals have a high melting point. They
are also very dense.

8. Properties of Metals
Conductors
Metals are
good
conductors of
electricity and
heat

9. Nonmetals

10. 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.

11. Properties of Nonmetals
Nonmetals do
not have
luster; they are
dull.

12. Properties of Nonmetals
Brittle
Nonmetals are
brittle so they
break easily.
This means
nonmetals ARE
NOT ductile or
malleable.

13. Properties of Nonmetals
Nonmetals
have low
density.

14. Properties of Nonmetals
They also have a
low melting point.
This is why they
are poor
conductors of
heat and
electricity.

15. Metalloids

16. Properties of Metalloids
Metalloids can be found clustered around the
dark zig-zag line that separates metals and
nonmetals.

17. Properties of Metalloids
Metalloids (metal-like)
have
properties of both
metals and
nonmetals.

18. Properties of Metalloids
Metalloids are solids
that can be
shiny or dull.

19. Properties of Metalloids
They conduct
electricity and
heat better than
nonmetals but not
as well as metals.
