Metals, Nonmetals, Metalloids Review

Directions:
•Click “Slideshow” and “From Beginning” to view
this presentation properly.

•Make a 3 column chart and label the columns

metals, Nonmetals, or Metalloids.

•As you go through the presentation list the

physical AND chemical properties of each.
Metals
 Properties of Metals
Metals appear to the left of the dark zig-zag line on the
periodic table. Most metals are solid at room temperature.
 Properties of Metals
Metals have shiny
metallic
Luster
 Properties of Metals
Ductile
metals can be drawn
into wire.
Properties of Metals
Malleable
metals can be
hammered into
sheets
 Properties of Metals

Metals have a high melting point. They are also

very dense.
 Properties of Metals
Conductors
Metals are good
conductors of
electricity and
heat
 Properties of Metals
A chemical property of
metal is its reaction
with water and
oxygen. This results
in corrosion and
rust.
Nonmetals
 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.
Properties of Nonmetals

Nonmetals have
nonmetallic
luster; they tend
to be dull.
 Properties of Nonmetals
Brittle
Nonmetals are brittle
so they break
easily. This means
nonmetals ARE
NOT ductile or
malleable.
Properties of Nonmetals

Nonmetals have
low density.
 Properties of Nonmetals

They also have a low

melting point. This
is why they are poor
conductors of heat
and electricity.
Metalloids
 Properties of Metalloids

Metalloids can be found clustered around the dark zig-

zag line that separates metals and nonmetals.
Properties of Metalloids
Metalloids (metal-like)
have properties of both
metals and
nonmetals.
Properties of Metalloids

Metalloids are solids that

can be shiny or
dull.
 Properties of Metalloids
They are “okay”
conductors of
electricity and
heat - better than
nonmetals but not
as well as metals.
Properties of Metalloids

Metalloids can be
malleable and
ductile but not
always.
If a substance can be pulled into thin wires and is a dull tan color, what is it?

metalloid
If you have a copper colored material that you can hammer into the shape of a coin
what do you have?

metal
If you find something that does not reflect light very well, keeps you warm, and will
just tear if you stretch it, what do you have?

nonmetal
