Periodic Table Basics

tend to be good conductors of heat and electricity

• Non  Metals
• Metals
• metalloids
• hydrogen 

as you move from left to right on the periodic table, elements become

• Less Metallic
• more metallic
• more reactive
• less reactive 

Mendeleev studied elements and looked for

• properties
• reactions
• patterns
• atomic numbers
