  1. Metals and Non-Metals

  2. Properties of Metals • Almost all metals on the periodic table that are lustrous, malleable, ductile and are goodconductors of heat and electricity. • Examples:

  3. Properties of Metals cont’d… • Appear on the left side of the periodic table. • Metals generally have a high density and high melting point. • Most metals are solid at room temperature except??

  4. Uses of Metals • Because they are good conductors of heat and electricity, metals are very useful. • Examples: • Copper wire used in electrical circuits. • Iron used in pots and pans. • Aluminum used as a heat sink in computers. • Tungsten used in light bulbs.

  5. Properties of Non-Metals • Non-metals tend to have low lustre (dull), be brittle and are not ductile or malleable. • Most are poor conductors of heat and electricity. • Examples:

  6. Properties Cont’d… • Non-metals can be either solids or gases at room temperature, but one is a liquid, which one??

  7. Uses of Non-Metals • Because they are poor conductors of heat and electricity, non-metals can also be very useful. • Example: • Argon gas used as an insulator between panes of glass in windows. • Neon and phosphorus can be used as light sources.

  8. Metals and Non-Metals • Looking at the periodic table in the back of the text book: • Metals are coloured BLUE • Non-Metals are coloured YELLOW • What about the GREEN ones?

  9. Metalloids • Some elements found on the periodic table have properties of both metals and non-metals • These elements are called metalloids. • Examples:

  10. Where are the Metalloids? • Represented by a downward staircase on the periodic table, starting at boron and ending at polonium.
