It is I, the Iron Man!

Today you will

join me in an adventure! We will
explore the world of METALS and
NON-METALS.

After this presentation you will be

able to identify whether or not the
things around you are my relative
(metals) or not (non-metals)
 Elements are listed in the Periodic Table and
can be divided into two main groups: metals and
non-metals.
Around three quarters of all elements are
metals, for example copper, silver, aluminum, zinc,
and iron. Metals are found on the left-hand side
and middle of the Periodic Table.
Non-metals make up the rest of the Periodic
table and include oxygen, sulphur, and chlorine.

Metals and non-metals have different physical

properties.
 Metals are Electropositive Elements
Metals are very reactive. Metals tend to loose
electrons easily and form positively charged ions;
therefore metals are called electropositive
elements.
 Non-metals are Essential to living things!
Although five times more elements are metals than non-metals, two
of the non-metalshydrogen and heliummake up over 99% of the
observable Universe, and oneoxygenmakes up close to half of
the Earth's crust, oceans and atmosphere. Living organisms are also
composed almost entirely of non-metals, and non-metals form many
more compounds than metals
To help you identify metals and non-
metals in the Periodic Table, just
keep in mind that METALS are
located at the LEFT-hand side and
MIDDLE while NON-METALS are
located at the RIGHT-hand side .

In this part, since you already

finished the activities, lets now
determine whether you really
understand the lesson.

Here you go!

 Identify whether it is True or False. Write T if True and F if False.

____ 1. Metals usually have high melting points.

____ 2. Nonmetals are usually good conductors of heat and
electricity.
____ 3. Metals are soft and bend or break easily.
____ 4. Nonmetals are not attracted to magnets.
____ 5. Metals tend to loose electrons easily and form
positively charged ions; therefore metals are called
electronegative elements.
______ 6. Metals are usually silver-grey in color.
____ 7. Nonmetals possess metallic luster.
____ 8. A metal gives electron(s) to a nonmetal.
____ 9. Nonmetals form oxides that are acidic.

shell.
