Metal Property

Metals are good conductors, malleable, and ductile.

Nonmetal Property

Nonmetals are poor conductors, have low boiling points, and are brittle.

Metalloid Property

Metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals.

Periodic Table Organization

Elements are organized by periods (rows) and groups (columns).

Atomic Mass

The weighted average mass of all the isotopes of an element. It is calculated by taking into account the mass and abundance of each isotope.

Why is chlorine's atomic mass not a whole number?

Because the atomic mass is a weighted average of the masses of its isotopes, which are not whole numbers. We use the percentages of each isotope to calculate the average.

Study Notes

Periodic Table Notes

  • The periodic table shows the elements arranged by atomic number.
  • Elements are grouped based on similar properties.
  • Metals are typically shiny, good conductors, malleable, and ductile.
  • Nonmetals are typically poor conductors, have low boiling points, and are brittle.
  • Elements in the same group have similar chemical properties.
  • Elements in the same period have increasing reactivity from left to right.
  • Atomic number increases across a period.
  • Atomic mass also increases across a period.
