Document Summary
~metals are always solid at room temperature, good conductors of electricity, and are malleable and ductile. Nonmetals are mostly gases, have low melting and boiling points, and poor conductors of heat and electricity. Metals are located in groups 1-12 on the periodic table and also on the lower right side. Nonmetals are located on the upper right side of the periodic table. Metalloids are elements that have physical and chemical properties of both metals and nonmetals and are located on the stair step line separating metals from nonmetals on the right side of the periodic table. Locate the s, p, d, f regions on the periodic table. ~ s is located in the first 2 groups. F is located in the bottom 2 rows in the lanthanide and actinide series. Identify the number of valence electrons and oxidation numbers on the periodic table. Describe the general trends in electronegativity and atomic radius.
