What are the 5 metals that will attract to a magnet?

The only 3 elements that are magnetic are Iron, Nickel and Cobalt. Any other metals containing any of these elements (e.g. Steel contains Iron) will also be magnetic.

Group 1: Alkali metals Group 2: Alkaline earth metals Groups 3-12: Transition metals Group 17: Halogens Group 18: Noble gases


Are the mettalic elements found in the same group?

Yes, metallic elements are often found in the same groups on the periodic table, particularly in Groups 1 (alkali metals), 2 (alkaline earth metals), and the transition metals in Groups 3 to 12. These groups share similar chemical properties due to their similar electron configurations. However, non-metals and metalloids can also be present in these groups, often exhibiting different characteristics. The metallic nature generally increases as you move down a group.


What are 3 categories that are used to classify the elements in the periodic table?

Alkali earth metals (group 1) halogens (group 6) and transition metals/metaloids (middle group) there is also poor metals lanthanoids actanoids and a few others

What are the three groups you see on the periodic table?

You can see the Alkaline Metals, Alkaline Earth Metals, Transition Metals, Other Metals (poor conducting metals), metaloids (characteristics of metals and non-metals combined), non-metals, noble gases, and unknown metals (like #112-118)The transition metals at the bottom of the periodic table are lanthanides and actinides.3 main ones are usually: Alkaline metals, Transition metals, and Non-metals...I hope this was useful!-Fuyuki


3. Where are the most active metals (alkali &alkaline earth) located?

The most active metals, including alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, are located in groups 1 and 2 of the periodic table, respectively. Alkali metals are in group 1, while alkaline earth metals are in group 2. These metals are highly reactive due to their tendency to lose electrons and form positive ions.


How many alkali earth metals have more than 30 protons?

Is scandium an alkaline earth?

No. Scandium is in column 3 of a periodic table, and the alkaline earth metals are in column 2.


Is an alkaline earth metal an element in groups 3-12 of the periodic table?

The alkaline earth metals are beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium.


How do you ust the periodic table to identify alkali metals alkaline earth metals transition metals halogens and noble gases?

You can identify alkali metals in Group 1, alkaline earth metals in Group 2, transition metals in Groups 3-12, halogens in Group 17, and noble gases in Group 18 on the periodic table. Each group has characteristic properties that define them, such as valence electrons and reactivity, which can help in their identification.


What are the oxidation numbers for the metal groups 1A 2A 3A?

Group 1 or alkali metals (+1 oxidation number). Group 2 or alkaline earth metals (+2 oxidation number).
