Groups in the Periodic Table

Question 1

Inner Transition Metals

Answer 1

The bottom island of the Periodic Table that incudes Lanthanides and Actinides

Question 2

Metalloids

Answer 2

Behave more like semiconductors, also called “semimetals” and “poor metals”

Question 3

Halogens

Answer 3

chemically reactive, combine with alkali metals to create different kinds of salt.

Question 4

Nonmetals

Answer 4

non-lustrous, brittle, poor conductors of heat and electricity

Question 5

Noble Gases

Answer 5

nonreactive, stable, inert

Question 6

Alkali Metals

Answer 6

Extremely Reactive

Question 7

Transition Metals

Answer 7

Malleable, good conductors, most precious metals are here

Question 8

Lanthanides

Answer 8

Silvery white, tarnish when exposed to air, strong magnetic field, high resistivity

Question 9

Alkaline Earth Metals

Answer 9

Less reactive, slower, produces less heat

Question 10

Actinides

Answer 10

All radioactive, Uranium and Thorium only elements that you can find naturally in this section

Question 11

Post-Transition Metals

Answer 11

Mostly same characteristics as Transition Metals, but softer and poorer conductors
