“The Over Reactors” “Middle Child” “Rule Breakers”
Alkali Metals: Alkaline Earth Metals: Transition Metals
Highly Reactive Explosive Less reactive than alkali metals. Good conductors of
1 electron in valence shell 2 electrons in valence shell heat and electricity
Ex: Ex: *Can form multiple
+1, +2, +3
Always form + charge
Electrons “back fill”
Orbitals (sub shells)

P-Block Metals: “2nd rate”
Poor conductors of heat and electricity but still have metal-like properties -shiny, flexible, malleable, ductile *usually take on a 3+ charge Non-metals: “Share bears” Poor conductors of heat and electricity *Atoms make up organic compounds Share electrons Noble Gases: “The Snobs” Non reactive gases Monoatomic (one atom) |
Metalloids: “Chameleons”
“Metal-like” This group separates the metals from the non-metals. Some have characteristics of metals And some non-metals Halogens: “Electron thieves” Reactive non-metals *All have 7 valence electrons and will form a -1 charge as ions |
