How are elements arranged?
Element arranged in order of increasing atomic number
Why are elements grouped together?
Elements be have similar chemical properties are grouped together
What is a group?
A vertical column of elements
What is a period?
Horizontal group of elements
What physical properties do metals have? (7)
- conduct heat
- conduct electricity
- sonorous- makes a sound when hit
- ductile- can be drawn to make a wire
- malleable- can be hammered to form sheets
- strong
- solid at room temperature
What is group one in the periodic table?
Alkali metals
What are alkali metals?
Very reactive soft metals- must be stored under oil to stop reactions of air and water. Reactivity increases down the group.
What is group 7 in the periodic table?
