Metals And Non Metals

Question 1

Metal physical properties

Answer 1

They are strong and malleable
Good at conducting heat and electricity
High boiling and melting point

Question 2

Non metals

Answer 2

Dull looking
Brittle
Aren’t always solids at room temp
Lower density
Often doesn’t conduct electricity

Question 3

Transition metal properties

Answer 3

Can have more than one ion
Coloured
Make good catalysts

Question 4

Group 1 metals

Answer 4

Known as alkali metals
Soft low density
All have 1 electron on outer shell

Question 5

What happens as you go down group 1

Answer 5

Increases in reactivity as outer electron is easily lost as not as strong attraction between nucleus

Question 6

What happens when group 1 metals react with water

Answer 6

Vigorously and produces hydrogen gas and metal hydroxides

Question 7

Group 1 metals with chlorine

Answer 7

Reacts vigorously when heated in chlorine gas and forms white metal chloride salts

Question 8

Group 7 elements- halogens what happens as you go down

Answer 8

Decrease in reactivity as it is harder to gain an extra electron as weaker force of attraction from nucleus

Question 9

Group 0 elements

Called noble gases

Answer 9

All have full outer shell
Colourless gases
Boiling point increases as you go down due to more electrons
