    Thallium is a metal. Metals form basic oxides that do not dissolve in water but do react with acids to form salts. Since thallium oxide fits this description, thallium must be a metal.

    THE PERIODIC TABLE OF

    ELEMENTS, METALS AND


    NON-METALS.
    STARTER:

    look at the pictures. What do the objects have in common?


    PERIODIC TABLE OF ELEMENTS.

    The periodic table is a system for arranging the chemical


    elements. It is set up in a grid of rows and columns. Each 7
    horizontal rows contain elements that have the same number
    of atomic orbitals, called “periods”, and 18 vertical columns
    called groups. There are 118 chemical elements, which are
    listed on the periodic table in a specific order. The periodic
    table can be divided into metals and non-metals, with a zig-
    zag diagonal line dividing them.
    ELEMENTS.

    Elements are substances that are made from a


    single type of atom. Each element has a
    unique atomic number, which is the number
    of protons in each atom of the element. There
    are 98 elements found in nature, and more
    than 20 created by scientists. Some elements
    are very common, such as hydrogen, oxygen,
    and carbon, and some are very rare.
    WHAT ARE METALS AND NON-METALS?
    Metal is a solid material which conduct heat &
    electricity, hard, shiny, malleable, fusible, and
    ductile. Nonmetal is a substance that do not
    exhibit properties of metals such as hardness,
    luster, malleability ,ductility and the ability to
    conduct electricity.
    • Most metals are hard, except sodium.
    • Magnetic metals include iron, nickel, cobalt.
    PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF METALS AND NON-METALS.
    Metals Non-metals
    Shiny Dull
    High melting points Low melting points
    Good conductors of Poor conductors of
    electricity electricity
    Good conductors of Poor conductors of
    heat heat
    High density Low density
    Malleable and
    Brittle
    ductile
    FACTS.

    • Some elements have properties that are not typical. For example:
    • Mercury: (a metal) has a low melting point and exists as a liquid at
    room temperature and expand when used in thermometer.
    • Graphite: a form of carbon (a non-metal), has a high boiling point,
    a good conductor of electricity and a lustrous non-metal which
    conducts electricity.
    • Bromine: is the only non-metal that is liquid at room
    temperature.
    CHEMICAL PROPERTIES.
    • The most common chemical property is the type of oxide
    that the element forms. Metals form oxides that are basic,
    but non-metals form oxides that are acidic. For example,
    sulfur and carbon are both non-metals. They react with
    oxygen to form sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide. These
    compounds are both gases present in the air and which
    dissolve in rain water, making it acidic.
    • Metals are also more likely to corrode than non-metals.
    This means that non-metals are less likely to react with
    water or acids than metals are.
    CLASS TASKS.
    The element thallium forms an
    oxide, Tl2O. Thallium oxide does
    not dissolve in water, but does
    react with acids to form thallium
    salts. Is thallium a metal or a non-
    metal? Explain your answer.
