Properties of Metals NonMetals and Metalloids
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Periodic Table | a table in which all the known elements are arranged by properties and represented by symbols |
| Physical Property | a characteristic that can be observed or measured without changing the substance. (color, melting point,etc.) |
| Metals | most elements are metals; they are typically shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity. |
| Non-Metals | elements that are typically no shiny, not malleable, and poor conductors of heat and electricity. |
| Metalloids | elements that have properties of both metals and non-metals, sometimes called semiconductors. |
| Luster | a physical property, the way the surface of a substance shines or reflects light. |
| Conductivity | a physical property; the ability or power to easily transfer heat, electricity, or sound. |
| Malleability | a physical property; able to be shaped or formed into thin sheets by hammering or pressure. |
| Brittle | a physical property; tendency to break, snap, or crack without first bending as a result of force. |
| Insulator | a substance that resists electric current, or a material that resists the flow of heat |
| Conductor | a substance that allows the flow of electric charge or transfers thermal energy through matter. |
| Semi-conductor | a substance that shows the property of electrical conductivity between a conductor and insulator. |
