NGSS.MS-PS3-3

the tendency of a substance to undergo chemical reaction, either by itself or with other materials, and to release energy

• conductivity
• property
• reactivity
• metals

a substance (as gold, tin, copper, or bronze) that has a more or less shiny appearance, is a good conductor of electricity and heat, and usually can be made into a wire or hammered into a thin sheet

• reactivity
• metalloids
• non-metals
• metals

a chemical element (as boron, carbon, or nitrogen) that lacks the characteristics of a metal

• non-metals
• metals
• metalloids
• conductivity

have some properties in common with metals and some in common with non-metals   (some examples: boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium)

• metals
• metalloids
• non-metals
• periods

a column of elements in the periodic table (also known as a family)

• group
• period
• property
• metals

row of elements in the periodic table

• group
• property
• atomic mass
• period

the mass of a single atom of a chemical element. 

• atomic number
• atomic mass
• metalloids
• metals

number of protons (or electrons) normally found in an atom of a given chemical element

• periodic table
• property
• atomic mass
• atomic number

Matter can have physical properties, such as volume (how much space matter takes up) and mass (the     amount of atoms in matter). It can also have chemical properties, which are characteristics that you can observe     after matter has gone through a chemical change (like when metal goes through oxidation and become rust).

• proton
• periodic table
• property
• valence electrons
