Groups in the Periodic Table
- Elements on the left side of the periodic table are called metals.
- Metals are malleable (bendable), lustrous (shiny), ductile (can be drawn into wires), and conductive (good at transferring heat and electricity).
Metalloids
- A small group of elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Nonmetals
- (No specific details provided)
Chemical Weathering
- The process where rocks are broken down by chemical reactions.
- Physical changes can sometimes help chemical reactions.
