Periodic Table Study

Question 1

Metals, name location, state, appearance, conductivity, and malleability/ductility

Answer 1

Location: Found on the left and center of the periodic table (Groups 1-12 and some in Groups 13-16).
• State: Solid at room temperature (except mercury, Hg, which is liquid).
• Appearance: Shiny (lustrous) with a metallic color (silver, gray, gold, etc.).
• Conductivity: Excellent conductors of heat and electricity due to free-moving electrons.
• Malleability/Ductility: Highly malleable (can be hammered into sheets) and ductile (can be drawn into wires).

Question 2

None metals name location, state, appearance, conductivity, malleability/ductility

Answer 2

Location: Found on the right side of the periodic table (Groups 14-18, except hydrogen, which is in Group 1).
• State: Can be solid, liquid, or gas at room temperature:
• Solids: Carbon (C), Sulfur (S), Phosphorus (P).
• Liquids: Bromine (Br).
• Gases: Oxygen (O₂), Nitrogen (N₂), Fluorine (F₂).
• Appearance: Dull (not shiny), brittle in solid form, various colors.
• Conductivity: Poor conductors of heat and electricity (insulators).
• Malleability/Ductility: Not malleable or ductile—they are brittle and break easily.

Question 3

Metalloida name location, state, appearance, conductivity, malleability/ductility

Answer 3

Location: Found along the staircase (zigzag line) between metals and non-metals on the periodic table (B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te, Po, At).
• State: Solid at room temperature.
• Appearance: Can be shiny or dull, depending on the element.
• Conductivity: Semiconductors—conduct electricity better than non-metals but not as well as metals (used in electronics).
• Malleability/Ductility: Brittle like non-metals (not malleable or ductile).

Question 4

What are the common names and group numbers on the table

Answer 4

Group 1 Alkali metals
Group 2 alkali earth metals
Group 17 Halogens
Grouo 18 Nobel gasses

Question 5

How are elements arranged

Answer 5

Are arranged according to increasing atomic numbers
