Metal

The video explains that metals are located on the middle and left side of the periodic table. Metal atoms usually have 1-3 electrons in their outer shells, allowing them to easily lose electrons and form positive ions. In their pure form, metals are excellent conductors of heat and electricity, and they are malleable and shiny when polished.

Where are metals primarily located on the periodic table?

• On the top

• At the bottom

• In the middle and left side

• On the right side

How many electrons do metal atoms typically have in their outer shells?

• 6-7 electrons

• 8 electrons

• 4-5 electrons

• 1-3 electrons

What happens to metal atoms when they lose electrons?

• They form positive ions

• They become neutral

• They gain more electrons

• They form negative ions

Which of the following is a property of metals in their pure form?

• They are non-malleable

• They are shiny when polished

• They are brittle

• They are poor conductors of heat

What makes metals good conductors of electricity?

• Their free-moving electrons

• Their shiny appearance

• Their ability to form negative ions

• Their brittleness
