Metals

By- Juliet, Suki, Vartan and Gena

What is a metal?

  • A metal is a material that, when freshly prepared, polished or fractured, shows a shiny appearance and conducts electrically and heat
  • Metals are typically malleable or ductile
  • Metals have many physical properties, high density, and high melting point
  • And being good conductors for electricity and heat are just a few

What is metal

Chemical Properties

  • Toxicity
  • Coordination number
  • Flammability
  • Enthalpy and formation
  • Heat and conbustion
  • Oxidation states
  • chemical stability

Chemical Properties

What is an alloy?

  • An alloy is made by combining two or more metallic elements, especially to make stronger and give more resistance

Alkali Metals

  • These metals are never alone because if they were they would explode, they are never found as elements but in compounds
  • They are in group 1 of the Periodic Table of Elements from lithium to francium
  • The 2 most important metals are are sodium and potassium
  • They are essential for life and good for the body
  • The alkali metals are usually soft or shiny, for example a banana

Alkali Earth Metals

  • There are six chemical elements of these metals
  • They are beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium
  • They are shiny and silvery white and sometimes reactive metals

Transition Metals

  • Transition metals form a bridge between reactive metals on the left of the PTOE and the less reactive on the other side of the table
  • These types of metals are very similar to each other and to find differences is very rare
  • They include iron, copper, nickel, silver and gold, so most of them are hard and shiny
  • They can even be used to make colorful paints

Metals in Mixed Groups

  • 13-16 of the groups in The Periodic Table of Elements are metals, nonmetals, and metalloids
  • The metals on the right side of the table are not as reactive of the metals on the left side
  • Most familiar metals are aluminum, tin and lead
  • Aluminum is for planes
  • Lead is used in paints and used to be in water pipes, but its poisonous so its not used anymore

Metals in Mixed Groups

Lanthanides and Actinides

  • Lanthanides and actinides are elements on the bottom sides of the periodic table
  • Also known as the rare earth elements
  • Lanthanides are 57-71
  • Actinides are 89-103
  • Lanthanides are soft, usable and shiny
  • Lanthanides are hard to break apart, and they are always together because of their similar properties
