One Two Three State where metals and non-metals are located in the periodic table. Describe the differences in properties in metals and non-metals. Explain metal properties in terms of electrons. Learning Points
Metals Metals & the Periodic Table Metals are located on the left hand side and in the middle of the periodic table. The elements in group 1 and 2 are metals, as well as the transition metals in the middle.
Non-metals & the Periodic Table Non-metals are located on the right hand side of the periodic table. Non-metals Non-metals can be found in the earlier periods in groups 4 to 7. All of group 0 are non-metals.

+ + + + + + + + The key properties of metals, are due to their specific structure. Metal Structure Positive metal ions Delocalised electrons
+ + + + + + + + Metals are good conductors of electricity. Conductivity Delocalised electrons are free to move around. When they move around, they carry electrical charge. Reason
+ - Metals have a high melting point. Melting Point There is a strong electrostatic attraction between the delocalized electrons and the positive metal ions. A large amount of thermal energy is required to overcome this. Reason
+ + + + + + + + Metals are malleable. They can be hammered into shape. Malleability The metal atoms (or ions) slide over each other when a force is applied. This allow metals to change shape on impact. Reason
+ + + + + + + + Metals generally have a shiny (lustrous) appearance. Shiny Appearance Metals have delocalised electrons on the surface which reflect light energy. Reason
