(31 cards)
A horizontal row in the periodic table
Period
All elements in the same column of the periodic table
Group or family
How are elements arranged in the periodic table?
In order of atomic # and in a pattern related to physical and chemical properties
Representative elements
Groups 1,2,13-18
Transition metals
Groups 3-12
Lanthanides
58-71
Actinides
90-103
Halogens
Group 17 of periodic table
Alkali metals
Group 1 of the periodic table
Alkaline earth metals
Group 2 of the periodic table
Metals location
Left side of periodic table
The elements on the left side of the periodic table that are typically shiny solids that conduct heat and electricity well and are malleable and ductile
Metals
Elements with properties opposite those of metals, including poor conductivity of heat and electricity
Nonmetals
Elements along the border between metals and Nonmetals in the periodic table
Metalloids
Main group elements/representative elements
Elements in groups 1,2,13-18 and are most abundant
Transition metals
Elements in groups 3-12
Noble gases
Elements in group 18 of the periodic table
Group 1A
Alkali Metals
Soft metals, very reactive with water, found in nature as compounds, form 1+ cations
Alkali metals
