A table in which all the known elements are arranged by properties and are represented by one or two letters, referred to as chemical symbals.

Most elements are metals; they are typically solid, shiny, mallealble, and good conductors of of heat and electricity.

Elements that are typically not shiny, not malleable, and poor conductors of heat and electricity; usually gases or brittle solids.

Elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetal; sometimes referred to as semiconductors.

A dendency to break rather than flex or bend.

The way the surface of a mineral reflects light; either metallic or non-metallic such as silky, dull, glassy, or resinous.

The ability of something to something to be reshaped without breaking.

A substance that shows the property of electrical conductivity between that of a conductor and that of an insulator; the foundation of modern electronics

The ability to be stretched in to wire.

A substance that readily transfers heat or electrical energy.

A material that does not conduct heat or electrical current

The ablility of a substance to transfer heat or electricl energy,

Characteristics that can be observed or measured without changing the substance; for example, color, melting point, or conductivity.

Classify/Classification

Sort or put into groups based on similar and dissimilar, physical, chemical, or biological characteristics.

Anything that has mass and takes up space.

A pure substance composed of the same type of atom throughout

The internal energy of a system that results from the kinetic energy of its atoms and molecules.

an invisible force that can attract or repel certain materials, like iron.
