Directions:

1. Pick three different colors. Each color will

signify the three parts of the Periodic Table
the METALS, METALLOIDS, and NONMETALS.
2. Color the three parts of the Periodic Table.
3. Fill in the KEY to match your Periodic Table.
4. Fold in half and glue to a page in your journal.

Metals usually
Are silver-grey in color
Are solids @ room temperature, except for Mercury
Reflect light when polished (luster)
Can be bent or hammered flat (malleable)
Can be drawn into wire (ductile)
Are strong and resist bending and breaking (tensile strength)
Have a characteristic sound when struck with an object (sonorous)
Have high melting and boiling points
Are good conductors of heat and electricity
Have high densities (heavy weight for their size)
Are attracted to a magnet
NONMETALS usually
Exist as solids, liquids, or gases @ room temperature
Do not reflect light well (no luster)
Are brittle
Cannot be hammered flat (not malleable)
Cannot be drawn into a wire (not ductile)
Are soft and bend or break easily (low tensile strength)
Dont have a characteristic sound when struck with an object (not sonorous)
Have low melting and boiling points
Are poor conductors of heat and electricity
Have low densities (light weight for their size)
Are not attracted to a magnet
METALLOIDS usually
Are generally solids
Can be shiny or dull (luster)
May or may not be hammered flat (malleable)
May or may not be drawn into wire (ductile)
May or may not be brittle
Conduct heat and electricity better than nonmetals, but not as well as metals
Tend to make good semiconductors
Have melting and boiling points that are widely varied
Have densities that are widely varied
