GCSE Chemistry - Metals and Non-Metals #10

The video tutorial explains the differences between metals and nonmetals, focusing on their ion formation and electron arrangements. It highlights the reactivity of metals, which increases down the periodic table due to the distance of outer electrons from the nucleus. The video also covers the physical properties of metals, such as metallic bonding, malleability, and conductivity. Transition metals are discussed, emphasizing their ability to form multiple ions and act as catalysts in chemical reactions.

What distinguishes transition metals from other metals?

What role do transition metals play as catalysts?
