1 Use your textbook to fill in the table below, summarizing the typical physical properties of metals and non-
metals. (The obvious one has been done!)
METALS NON-METALS
good conductors of heat and electricity poor conductors
5. Number each group of four elements 1-4 in Atomic radii size (smallest=1; largest=4):
8. What qualities do the Transition Metals have that is different from the rest of the metals and non-metals?
11. Why are Alkaline Earth Metals less reactive than Alkali Metals?
12. Three Alkali metals and give two physical and two chemical similarities shown in this Group.
2) 2)
13. Three Halogens and give two physical and two chemical similarities shown in this Group.
2) 2)
14. Explain why helium atmosphere is used in welding rather than an oxygen rich atmosphere.
15. Explain why Halogens readily react with Alkali Metals to form salts?
16. Why is an iron alloy, such as steel, preferred over pure iron?
18. Explain the decrease in atomic radii as you move across the period from Group1 to Group14.
19. Explain why the ionization energies tend to decrease down a group.
