metals, non metals and transition metals

Cards (9)

  • give location of metals in periodic table
    left and bottom
  • describe reaction of metals
    form positive ions from losing electrons due to less energy required to lose than gain electrons
  • give properties of metals
    strong, malleable, high melting point, high boiling point, good heat conductor and good electrical conductor
  • give location of non metals on periodic table
    right and bottom
  • describe reaction of non metals
    form negative ions from gaining electrons due to less energy required to gain than lose electrons
  • give properties of non metals
    dull, brittle, low melting point, low boiling point, not heat conductor and not electrical conductor
  • give location of transition metals in periodic table
    centre - between group 2 and 3
  • give typical properties of transition metals
    similar to metal - strong, high melting point, high boiling point, good heat conductor and good electrical conductor
  • give specific properties of transition metals
    form more than one ion, colourful and good catalysts
