8th grade Physical Science
Make
sure that you included
the following on your graphic
organizer
 Malleable
 Ductile
 Luster-
shiny
 High Density
 Good Conductors of heat and
electricity
 High melting point
 Hardness
 Most are solids except for Mercury
Corrosive-react
water
with oxygen and
React
strongly with acids but
not bases
Form
ionic bonds
Tend
to react with nonmetals
Make
sure you included the
following in the nonmetals
section of your graphic
organizer
 Poor

Conductors of heat and electricity
Dull
 Brittle
 Most
solids- (not malleable or ductile)
are gases at room temperature
 Low
density
 Low
melting point
 Hard
or soft
 Various
colors
Tend
to react with metals
Form
ionic and covalent bonds
Make
sure you included the
following in the metalloid
section of your graphic
organizer
Metalloids
have properties of
both metals and non-metals.
Can
be shiny or dull
Semiconductors-
conduct heat
and electricity better than
nonmetals but not as good as
metals
Solid
at room temperature
Can
be ductile or brittle
Can
be malleable or not
Now
it is time to color code your
copy of the periodic table
Take out your periodic table and
SHADE all of the metals blue,
the nonmetals yellow and the
metalloids green
 Label
each of the families of the periodic
table.
 Families
are the VERTICAL rows #1-18
 Families
have similar properties as each
other
 Row
#1 are the Alkali metals
 Row #2 are the Alkaline Earth metals
 Rows 3-12 are the Transition metals
 Row
13 is the Boron group
 Row
14 is the Carbon group
 Row
15 is the Nitrogen group
 Row
16 is the Oxygen group
 Row
17 are the Halogens
 Row
18 are the Noble gases
