JSA - Metals Vs Non Metals

The document discusses the properties of metals and non-metals, noting that metals are strong, malleable, shiny, good conductors of heat and electricity, while non-metals are generally dull, poor conductors, and have lower melting and boiling points than metals. It explains terms like ductile, sonorous, and lustrous as they relate to properties of metals. The document also compares properties of metals and non-metals and discusses why certain materials like gold and glass are suitable or unsuitable for specific applications based on their conductive and physical properties.

Title: Metals vs.

non metals Saturday, 05 June 2021

Learning Objective: Today I will be learning about the properties of


metals and non metals
Recall 5 Key words
Ductile
1. An element contains the same Malleable
Sonorous
type of what? Conductor

2. H2O is a compound of which two


elements?
3. What is the symbol for Calcium
4. How many atoms of Oxygen are
in CO2
5. How many elements are in
C6H12O6
Identify which elements are
metals and which are non-
metals on the periodic table

Recall the properties of metals


and how they relate to their
functions

Compare the properties of


metals and non metals
What do you think ‘physical properties’ are?
‘something that can be observed’

Spider diagram!
What do these words mean?
Clue in the pic!
High melting point
Except mercury and gallium

Sonorous
Malleable
Ductile
Lustrous
Conductor of heat
Conductor of electricity
Physical properties of metals are:
Strong
Malleable
Shiny when polished
Generally solid at room temperature
(except mercury)
High density
Good conductors
🖋
All metals conduct electricity
Lustrous
Metals allow energy to flow through
them, causing heating
Flexible

Ductile Metals do not break – they bend

Malleable Metals can be hammered into sheets

Sonorous Metals ring like a bell when hit - they


do not make a dull thud
Electrical conductor

All metals are shiny when polished


Thermal conductor or freshly cut

Metals can be drawn into wires


Lustrous All metals are shiny when polished
or freshly cut

Flexible Metals do not break – they bend

Ductile Metals can be drawn into wires

Malleable Metals can be hammered into sheets

Sonorous Metals ring like a bell when hit - they


do not make a dull thud

Electrical conductor All metals conduct electricity

Thermal conductor Metals allow energy to flow through


them, causing heating
Question 1

Why is gold a good material to use for


making jewellery?
Properties of non metals.
Spider diagram!

What do you think these might be?


•dull, not shiny.
•poor conductor of heat.
•poor conductor of electricity.
•not malleable or ductile, usually
brittle.
•lower density (when compared to
metals)
•lower melting point and boiling points
(when compared to metals)
Question 2

Why is glass not a good material to use


to transport electricity?
7.2 Non-metals

Boiling and melting points


Most metals have much higher melting and boiling points

than non-metals.
Element Melting point (°C) Boiling point (°C)

Platinum 1772 3827


Iron 1535 1750
Gold 1065 2807
Oxygen -223 -183
Neon -249 -246
This is why so many non-metals are gases at room temperature

(about 20°C).
7.2 Non-metals

What are the non-metals?

Only about 20 elements


are non-metals
Use 2 colours to represent metals and non-metals on your
periodic table.
