What Are Some Of The Physical Properties That Distinguish The Metallic Elements Form The Non Metal Elements

69.- What are some of the physical properties that distinguish the metallic elements form the non metal elements? Are these properties absolute, or do some nonmetallic elements exhibit some metallic properties (and vice versa) ?

• Efficient conduction of heat and electricity

• They don’t dissolve in water

• Ductility

• Shiny

70.- What types of ions do the metals and nonmetals form? Do the metals gain or lose electrons? And non metals?

Anions and cations, the metal elements lose electrons while the non metallic gains them

71.-Give some similarities that exist among the elements in Group 1

• Good conductors

• Low density

• Low melting points

72.-Give some similarities that exist among the elements in Group 7

• High ionization energy

• Small atomic radious

73. - Which element in Group 1 most easily loses electrons? Why?

They are all equally likely to lose electrons because all of them have 1 electron in the outer shell.

74.- Which elements in a given period (horizontal) of the periodic table lose electrons more easily?

The ones in the left because they have the tendency of losing the valence electrons

75.-Where are the most non metallic elements located on the periodic table? Why do these elements pull electrons from the metallic elements so easily during a reaction?

On the right side of the periodic table, because they have more electro negativity
