Periodic table
Metals: Facts & Figures
 Metals lie on the left side of the periodic table.
 There are more metals than Non-metals in the Earth. Around 80% of the
elements found are Metals.
 Common metals found in Earth’s crust are Iron, Aluminium, Copper, Mercury,
Platinum and Gold.
 Metals found in the Earth’s crust are found mixed with rocks and other
impurities called ores. These metals are extracted from their ore through
various chemical and physical processes.
 Gold, Silver, Platinum are precious metals because they are rarely found and
expensive.
Physical properties of Metals
 Hard and Strong
 Shiny
 Good conductors of Heat and Electricity
 Sonorous
 Ductile(Can be easily drawn into wires)
 Malleable(Can be beaten into thin sheets without breaking)
 High Melting and Boiling points
 High Density
 Most are Solid at room temperature except Mercury.
 Magnetic
Chemical properties of Metals
 Metals react with oxygen to form oxides.
Sodium + Oxygen Sodium Oxide
Magnesium + Oxygen Magnesium Oxide
 Metal oxides are bases and some metal oxides such as Sodium Oxide and
Calcium oxide, dissolve in water to form alkalis.
 Metal oxides neutralize acids and form salt and water.
 Metals form positive ions. Na+, Mg2+, Cu2+.
 Metals are also mixed with other elements to enhance some of their
properties. These mixtures of metals are called alloys. Eg: Stainless Steal and
Brass
Uses of Metals and Alloys
 Use of Iron: Iron is used to make swords, horseshoes, utility-hole covers and
they combine with carbon to make steel cutlery and car bodies.
 Use of Aluminum: Aluminum is used to make aircrafts and power cables only
because they have a low density, do not corrode in air, light weight and
conduct electricity.
 Use of Zinc: Zinc is used to galvinize metals to prevent them from rusting and
making batteries.
 Use of Copper: Copper is used to make electrical wires, lightning conductors,
hot water cylinders and copper-bottomed pans because they are malleable,
ductile and very good conductor of heat and electricity.
 Brass(70% Copper, 30% Zinc): Brass is used in making of ornaments, musical
instruments and door handles and fittings.
 Steel and Stainless Steel: widely used in kitchen utensils and decorative
items.
 Silver & Gold: Ornaments & Jewellery
Uses of Metals
Iron Ore
Non-Metals: Facts & Figures
 Non-Metals are not in abundance and not as striking in appearance as metals.
 Some are color-less and are found in the Earth’s crust, the oceans, the
atmosphere and the living things.
 Hydrogen, Nitrogen and Oxygen are the 3 most common elements.
 Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe and is the lightest of
all elements. It is color-less, odor-less and combines with oxygen to form
water.
 Nitrogen is color-less, odor-less and non-reactive. It forms 77% of the air
around us.
 Oxygen is the most useful element that helps human beings and living things
survive. It is very reactive.
Physical properties of Non-Metals
 Dull and weak(Breaks easily)
 Low Melting and Boiling points
 Low dense
 Solid, liquid or gas at room temperature
 Bad conductors of heat and electricity
 Not Sonorous
 Not ductile and malleable
 Not magnetic
Reaction of Non-metals with Oxygen
 A non-metal reacts with oxygen to form an oxide.
Sulphur + Oxygen Sulphur dioxide
 Most oxides of non-metals are soluble. When they dissolve in water they form
acids.
Sulphur dioxide + Water Sulphurous acid
Use of Non-Metals
Non-Metal Uses
Carbon Diamond – Jewelry, saws, drills, scalpel
Graphite – Pencil leads, lubricants
Oxygen 1. Life support systems
2. For welding and cutting metals
Hydrogen 1. Making products from oil
2. Chemistry of carbon and hydrogen is called organic
chemistry and is a very big part of our life. All the
petroleum, coal, plastics, proteins, medical drugs
and carbohydrates are combination of
organic(carbon and hydrogen).
Sulphur 1. Medicines
2. Sulphuric acid
3. Dyes and Pesticides
4. Cosmetics, shampoos and body lotions.
N,P,K, NH3(Ammonia) 1. Fertilizers(most wide usage of all 3 elements)
Chlorine 1. Purifying Water

Non metals
Non-Metals in Raw form
Few exceptions
 The only metal that is liquid at room temperature is Mercury. Mercury is very
useful and is used in thermometer.
 The only non-metal liquid at room temperature is Bromine.
 Carbon has a high melting point, but is a non-metal. Carbon is the most
widely used element in earth.
 Carbon(Graphite), even though it is a non-metal it conducts electricity.
Graphte electrodes are made that are used in welding.
 Iodine has a shiny surface and looks metallic, but is a non-metal. Iodine is
used in Salts (Iodised Salt),
