    Group 1 and 2 transition metals have high density due to the close packing of their atoms, high melting and boiling points from strong interatomic forces, and are malleable because the forces allow atoms to slip past one another and change shape when force is applied. They also have good thermal and electrical conductivity from close packing enabling heat transfer through vibration and free electrons.

    Metals notes

    GROUP 1,2 TRANSITION METALS


    PROPERTIES:
    HIGH DENSITY:due to the close packing of atoms

    HIGH MP AND BP:STRONG FORCES BETWEEN ATOMS

    MALLEABLE:{the forces between metals arev strong but not rigid hence
    when force is applied they slip over one another and can change shape
    easily

    THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY;the close packing of atoms heat can be


    teransfered easily by vibration

    ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY:free electrons

    SOBNOROUS:Electron bonding in metals is highly delocalized, due to


    their very low electronegativity, so the electron cloud moves extremely
    easily and allows incoming kinetic energy to be easily transformed as a
    form of a wave. Not all metals have this physical property!
