| Element | When something is made up of only one kind of atom. |
| Atom | The basic unit of a chemical element. |
| Malleable | Can be smashed without crumbling, Good conductors of heat and electricity, React with acids |
| Density | The degree of compactness of a substance |
| Corrosive | Can Rust |
| Luster | Shiny |
| Ductile | Can be drawn into a thin wire |
| Noble Gases | They have eight atoms, and they do not react at all. |
| Halogens | the most reactive non- metals. |
| Alkali Metals | Their atoms have only one valence electron, these are very reactive with water. |
| Alkali Earth Metals | The atoms have two valence electrons. These elements are reactive, but not as reactive as alkali metals. |
| Transaction Metals | Are not as reactive as the alkali metals or the alkaline-earth metals. In fact, some are quite unreactive. |
| Alloy | A metal made by combining two or more metallic elements. |
| Metal | Good conductors |
| Non-metals | Poor conductors |
| Metalloid | Both metals and nonmetals |
