Alkali metal   they are so reactive that they are never found uncombined in nature. Metals soft enough to be cut with a butter knife.  
🗑

🗑
Metalloids   elements on both sides of zig zag line (staircase) have properties of both metals and nonmetals.  
🗑
non-metals   Has a dull appearance, is a poor conductor of heat and electricity. Can break easily, not ductile, not malleable, low density, low melting point and less reactive then metals.  
🗑
metals   solid at room temperature{except mercury}, shiny luster, can bend to wire, malleable, good conductor, high density and high melting point.  
🗑
periods   the period on the periodic table are the rows numbered from 1-7. The atomic number increases from left to right, those in the same period have the same number of energy levels or shells. Chemical properties are not all similar.  
🗑
Periodic table   arranges all of the known elements in order of increasing atomic number (# of protons).  
🗑
alloy   is a homogeneous mixture of two or more metals.  
🗑
Radioactivity   the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus will lose energy though the emission of particles or electromagnetic wave  
🗑
electromagnetic waves   known as radiation  
🗑
