Across
- 2. The two rows below the periodic table. They contain the transuranium metals.
- 4. Metals in groups 13-16, where other nonmetal elements also are.
- 7. the ability to carry electric current
- 9. the breaking down of a metal due to a chemical reaction in the environment
- 10. property of being shiny and reflective
- 12. elements that are good conductors of electric current and heat
- 13. ability to be hammered or rolled into flat sheets or other shapes
Down
- 1. the metals in group 1. These metals are the most reactive metals in the periodic table.
- 3. the ability to transfer heat
- 5. ability to be pulled out, or drawn, into long wires; stretchy
- 6. The metals in group 2. These metals are still very reactive, but less reactive than the alkali metals. They are also harder and denser than the alkali metals
- 8. The elements in groups 3-12. Most are hard and shiny solids. Mercury is the only one to be not solid at room temperature. They are also malleable and good conductors of heat and electricity
- 11. the ease and speed with which an element combines, or reacts, with other substances
