Today we continued with the metals on the periodic table. We read pp. 354-358. We learned about the physical properties of metals.
There are 5 that we started with
-Shiny - luster/can reflect light -Ductility - pulled into a wire
-Conduct thermal energy -Malleability - hammered into a sheet
-Conduct electricity
We then looked at the first two groups on the Periodic Table
Group 1 - Alkali Metals (Givers!!) The Aretha Franklin group
We learned that this group in column one has one electron in the outer shell no matter what element it is. This means that the whole group is very chemically reactive because this one electron want to connect with other elements.
Group 2- Alkaline Earth Metals (Givers) The Doo Whop Girls with Aretha. They give too but are giving more.
