Groups 4 through 7 in the periodic table are called the transition metals. These elements have partially filled d-orbitals and exhibit a range of oxidation states and are known for their ability to form colorful compounds. They also tend to be good conductors of heat and electricity.
Synthetic fibers like polyester and nylon tend to develop static electricity in dry weather due to their insulating properties and inability to conduct electricity. Friction between the fibers can lead to the accumulation of electric charge, resulting in static electricity.
Tungsten is the hardest naturally occurring metal on Earth, while copper is one of the cheapest metals that can conduct electricity efficiently. Tungsten is often used in applications requiring high hardness and resistance to heat, whereas copper is widely used in electrical wiring and electronics due to its excellent conductivity.
If an object does not conduct electricity, is not shiny, and is not malleable or ductile, it is likely a non-metal. Non-metals are generally poor conductors of heat and electricity, dull in appearance, and brittle. Additionally, non-metals tend to gain electrons when they form compounds.
Groups on the periodic table with similar properties are elements that have the same number of valence electrons. These elements tend to have similar chemical reactivity and often form similar types of compounds. For example, Group 1 elements (alkali metals) are highly reactive metals that readily lose their outer electron to form +1 ions.
Usually, yes.
Atoms of materials that conduct electricity best tend to be held together by metallic bonds. This is the attraction between positively charged nuclei in metal atoms and the delocalized electrons in the metal.
Nonmetals tend to have lower melting and boiling points than metals. They tend to be dull and brittle. They do not conduct heat or electricity. They are insulators.

The Halogens, Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine and Astatine.
The three major groups of elements on the periodic table are metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Metals are typically shiny, conduct heat and electricity well, while nonmetals are usually dull, poor conductors, and can be gases. Metalloids share properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Formed by the attraction between positively and negatively charged ions. Tend to have high melting and boiling points due to strong electrostatic forces holding the ions together. Conduct electricity when melted or dissolved in water, as the ions are free to move and carry charge.
Nonmetal elements typically have properties such as being brittle, poor conductors of heat and electricity, and tend to form acidic oxides. In chemical reactions, nonmetals tend to gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, forming negative ions.
The Roman numeral groups in the periodic table are the columns labeled I to VIII. These groups help organize the elements based on their similar chemical properties and characteristics. Elements within the same group tend to have similar reactivity and bonding behavior, making it easier to predict their properties and how they will interact with other elements.
To find the ionic charge of an element or ion, you can look at the element's position on the periodic table. Elements in groups 1, 2, and 13 tend to have positive charges, while elements in groups 15, 16, and 17 tend to have negative charges. Transition metals can have multiple charges, so you may need to refer to a table of common charges for these elements.
The vertical elements are called groups. They have similar chemical properties.
