Elements
 John Dalton- Enlish scientist-chemist,
who proposed the Atomic Theory Of
Matter.
 Also believed that matter is composed
of atoms.
 He proposed the idea that there were
different types of atoms which is
called elements.
 An element is a pure substance made
up of only one type of atom.

 Finding the Difference Between a Pure
Substance and a Mixture.
Chemical symbol is a
representation of an element
using letters derived from the
first letter of the element’s
name, or of the first and second
letter.

Properties of Metals and
NonMetals
METALS NONMETALS
Good conductor of
heat and electricity
Insulators ( except
graphite)
Lustrous or exhibit
shininess
Do not exhibit luster
Malleable and
ductile
Brittle and break
easily
METALS NONMETALS
High tensile
strength
Low tensile
strength
High melting
points
Low melting
points
High density Low density
 Metals also have diverse and
unique properties.
 Mercury is liquid at room
temperature,
Metals in Group 1A
 Nonmetals are few. Most nonmetals
are gases such as nitrogen, oxygen,
hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine, helium,
neon, and more.
 Only one nonmetal is liquid-bromine
 Some are solid such as Carbon,
Phosphorous, sulfur, selenium, and
iodine.
 Metalloids are elements that have
properties which are intermediate
between metals and nonmetals.
They are solid but lack luster, and
they are typically semiconductors,
which means they both insulate
and conduct heat and electricity.
