- Transition Metals: Comprises Scandium (Sc), Titanium (Ti), Vanadium (V), Chromium (Cr), Manganese (Mn).
- Post-Transition Metals: Features elements like Gallium (Ga), Indium (In), Tin (Sn), Lead (Pb), Bismuth (Bi).
- Metalloids: Includes Boron (B), Silicon (Si), Arsenic (As), Tellurium (Te), Polonium (Po).

- Rare Earth Actinides: Contains Actinium (Ac), Thorium (Th), Protactinium (Pa), Uranium (U), Neptunium (Np).
Physical Characteristics
- Alkali Metals: Soft, silvery/white, good conductors of heat/electricity.
- Alkaline Earth Metals: Similar to Alkali Metals; also soft, silvery/white, conductive.
- Transition Metals: Brightly colored elements/compounds, excellent conductors, malleable, highest average densities.
- Post-Transition Metals: Poor conductors, lower melting/boiling points than Transition Metals, weaker mechanical strength.
- Metalloids: Brittle, can appear shiny/dull, ductile or malleable, used as semiconductors.
- Non-Metals: Brittle, dull with no luster, not ductile/malleable, poor conductors; crucial in organic compounds.
Chemical Characteristics
- Alkali Metals: Most reactive, always bonded in nature, react violently with water, lose 1 electron to form cations.
- Alkaline Earth Metals: Reactive, less so than Alkali Metals, have 2 valence electrons, lose 2 electrons when bonding.
- Transition Metals: Typically have 1 or 2 valence electrons, pool electrons when bonding, least reactive of metals.
- Post-Transition Metals: Located in groups 13-16, have 3-6 valence electrons, tend to form anions.
- Metalloids: Exhibit properties of both metals and nonmetals, bond primarily like nonmetals.
- Non-Metals: Have 3-6 valence electrons, generally gain electrons when bonding.
