(B) Properties and Reactivity of Metals on the Periodic Table

Front

What are the physical properties of metals?

Back

Metals are typically good conductors of heat and electricity, malleable, ductile, and have high melting points.

Front

Which metal is known for being a good conductor and is malleable?

Back

Gold is a metal that is a good conductor of heat and electricity and is malleable.

Front

What is tensile strength?

Back

Tensile strength is defined as the maximum stress a material can withstand before breaking.

Front

How do alkali metals appear at room temperature?

Back

Alkali metals typically appear as soft, silvery-white solids at room temperature.

Front

What is a chemical property of a substance?

Back

A chemical property describes a substance's ability to undergo a specific chemical change.

Front

What happens to iron when it is exposed to moisture?

Back

Iron rusts when it is exposed to moisture, which is a chemical change.

Front

What causes copper to tarnish?

Back

Copper tarnishes primarily due to its reaction with oxygen in the air.

Front

What is the difference between physical and chemical properties?

Back

Physical properties can be observed without changing the substance's identity, while chemical properties involve a change in the substance's identity.

Front

What is malleability?

Back

Malleability is the ability of a material to be shaped or deformed without breaking.

Front

What is ductility?

Back

Ductility is the ability of a material to be stretched into a wire.
