Study Notes
Metalloids
- Metalloids tend to share qualities of metals and non-metals.
Metals
- Metals are typically solid, metallic, and easily conduct heat and electricity.
Non-Metals
- Non-metals are located on the right side of the periodic table.
- They do not exhibit the properties of metals.
Transition Metals
- Transition metals are located in the d-block of the periodic table.
- A defining property of transition metals is their ability to form more than one possible charge.
- Examples of transition metals include scandium (Sc), titanium (Ti), and chromium (Cr).
- The defining point for an element to be considered a transition metal is its ability to form ions with different charges.
Main Group Elements
- Main group elements are located in the s- and p-blocks of the periodic table.
- They are classified into groups 1, 2, and 13 to 18.
- A notable quality possessed by all main group elements is that they tend to form predictable charges.
- Main group elements in Group 15 typically form a -3 charge.
- Main group elements in Group 2 typically form a +2 charge.
- There are 18 columns in the periodic table, with 8 columns that make up the main group elements.
