Bell RingerBased on their location on the periodic table define each of the following elements as metal, nonmetal, or metalloid AND predict some of the properties you would expect to observe.

Aluminum, Carbon, Copper, Magnesium, Silicon, Sulfur, & Zinc

***This is to be turned in with your LAB!

METAL, NONMETAL, OR METALLIOD

Lab Prep

Classes and Selected Groups of the Periodic Table

Metals Alkali Metals Alkaline Earth Metals Transition Metals

Metalloids Non - Metals

Halogens Noble Gases

Metals Solid at room temperature

Malleable and ductile (can change shape) Malleable = compress without breaking Ductile = stretch without breaking

Good Conductors (thermal & electrical)

Luster (means they are shiny!)

Metalloids

Share characteristics of both metals & non – metals.

Semi – conductors

Nonmetals

Insulators (poor conductivity) Living organisms are mostly non-

metals. (especially C, N, O, H) Most of the compounds in your body

contain carbon

SAFETY!!!

Hydrochloric acid solution (HCl) is corrosive to eyes and skin.

Cupric chloride solution (CuCl2) is toxic if ingested.

Avoid contact of all chemicals with eyes and all body tissues.

Wear chemical splash goggles and thoroughly wash hands after the experiment.

Disposal

Using forceps, carefully remove the silicon samples and place them in the beaker labeled Si.

For all other samples, dump the contents of the spot plates into the tan pan by the sink.

Rinse out the spot plates and forceps with water, and dry them off with paper towels.
