Halogens Group 17; active nonmetals- never exist alone in nature, tend to gain one more electron (-1 charge)
Inner Transition Metals Lanthanides and actinides; complex and ever changing atomic structure, changing oxidation states.
Lanthanides "Rare earth metals"; rarely found on earth.
Metalloids Can be semi-conductors; have properties of metals and nonmetals.
Metals Strong; durable; abundant; lustrous; high melting point (MP).
