Science: Metals, Nonmetals and
Metalloids (PTOE)
Games and activities
Alloys - correct answer ✔✔combo of 2 or more different elements; take best qualities of each to make
new substance
Alkali - correct answer ✔✔Group 1; most reactive metals; found in compounds (bonded to others); soft,
shiny luster; atoms have 1 valence electron. Sodium and Potassium: ESSENTIAL
Alkaline Earth Metals - correct answer ✔✔Group 2; not as reactive as Alkali metals, but more reactive
than most others; never found uncombined in nature; fairly hard, bright white, good conductor; 2 most
common: Magnesium and Calcium (essential)
Transition Metals - correct answer ✔✔Groups 3-12; form bridge from very reactive metals (left side) and
less reactive metals/other elements (right side); so similar; iron, copper, nickel, silver and gold; most are
hard and shiny; good conductors; fairly stable, meaning that the react slowly or not at all with air and
water
Metals in mixed groups - correct answer ✔✔Groups 13-16; metals, nonmetals and metalloids; not nearly
as reactive as left of trans metals; Aluminum, Tin(layer to coat steel from corrosion), Lead (shiny, blue-
white)
the Carbon Family - correct answer ✔✔Group 14; metals, nm;metalloids; Carbon - nm - Si, Ge -
metalloids - Sn Pb - metals; 4 valence electrons; Carbon is essential, living thing have this
Nitrogen Fam - correct answer ✔✔Group 15; 5 valence electrons; mixed grou (nm, m, met); Nitrogen gas
80% of atmosphere and is not reactive; 2 atoms of N bonded together; building blocks of protein; need it
in food; phosphorus is highly chemically reactive and is used in matches and flares
