How do the properties of each family of metals change as you move across the table?

As you move across the Periodic Table the elements gain a proton and an electron at each stage. This makes the nucleus larger each step you take and also increases the number of electrons in the outer shell. The number of electrons in the outer shell affects reactivity, too few and the element is reactive because it wants to lose them to get a full outer shell, too many (but not quite full) and it is reactive because it wants to add electrons to get a full shell.

Another name for a group of elements that have similar properties?
The groups each have different names. Group one is made up of Alkali Metals (except for Hydrogen). Group two is made of Alkali Earth Metals. The other groups include Transition Metals, Noble Gases, Poor Metals and Non Metals.
What metals are pure metals?
No such thing, because when you zoom in down to the nano scale gold is not gold anymore as its properties change at the nano scale.
Properties of metals include?
What are the 3 properties of metals?
Do elements that have some properties of metals and some properties of non metals are called halogens?
No, they are not.
Is malleable properties of both metals and non metals?
metals
How do the properties of each family of metals change as you move across the periodic table?
They become less reactive.
Elements in the same family have similar what?
Elements in the same family-assuming family means classifications such as non-metals, metals-have similar properties.
Do elements change from metals to non metals from left to right?
Yes, elements generally change from metals to non-metals from left to right across the periodic table. In the periodic table, elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number, and as you move across a period from left to right, the properties of the elements change from metallic to non-metallic. The left side of the periodic table consists of metals, the middle consists of metalloids, and the right side consists of non-metals.
How does alloying change the properties of metals?
Because they may fuse, block or displace other metals! :)
How the melting temperature properties generally change as you go down the columns of the periodic table?
The melting temperature properties generally change as you go down the columns of the Periodic Table by decreasing for metals and increasing for non-metals.
What has properties of metals and non metals?
The metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals.

What are the two uses of alkali metals?
all family of periodic table thier properties and uses
What happens to the state of matters you go across the periodic table?
Across the period (left to right), the elements tend to change from solids (metals) to gases (non metals).
What metals are pure metals?
No such thing, because when you zoom in down to the nano scale gold is not gold anymore as its properties change at the nano scale.

Do metals have properties of metallic and non metallic?
No, metalloids have properties of metals and nonmetals.
