Metallic and Nonmetallic Properties

This document discusses the properties of metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Metals are solid, shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals are usually gases, dull, brittle, and poor conductors. Metalloids have properties in between metals and nonmetals - they are solids that can be shiny or dull, malleable and ductile, and conduct electricity and heat better than nonmetals but not as well as metals.

Metallic and Nonmetallic Properties

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 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 do not
have luster; they
are 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.
Properties of Metals and Nonmetals
Metals Nonmetals
Solid at room temp Gaseous at room temp

Have luster (Shiny) Dull

Ductile Brittle

Malleable
High melting point Low meltingpoint
Dense Low density
Good conductors Poor conductors

Reacts with water and oxygen


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 conduct electricity


and heat better than
nonmetals but not as well
as metals.
Properties of Metalloids

Metalloids are
malleable and
ductile
