What are the names of the three groups of metals?
Elements can be classified as metals, metalloids, and nonmetals, or as a main-group elements, transition metals, and inner transition metals. Groups are numbered 1–18 from left to right.
What are group 5 metals called?
Group 5A (or VA) of the periodic table are the pnictogens: the nonmetals nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P), the metalloids arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb), and the metal bismuth (Bi).
What is the name of group 7A?
Group 7A (or VIIA) of the periodic table are the halogens: fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), and astatine (At). The name “halogen” means “salt former”, derived from the Greek words halo- (“salt”) and -gen (“formation”).
What groups are metals in on the periodic table?
Group 1: The Alkali Metals. The alkali metals are lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium.
Which group contains only metals?
Group 2 is the only group to include only metals. Group one includes the most metalic metals but hydrogen is usually put into group one and obviously hydrogen is not a metal.
What does group do most metals belong to?
Most elements are metals. This group includes alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, basic metals, lanthanides (rare earth elements), and actinides. Although separate on the periodic table, lanthanides and actinides are really specific types of transition metals.
Which group of metals is the most active?
All active metals are found in Group I of the periodic table (i.e., on the left side of the periodic table), except hydrogen, which is not considered a metal and lies at the top left hand corner of the periodic table. The most active metals in the activity series are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium, calcium, strontium and barium.
What groups contain metals nonmetals?
Groups 13-16 of the periodic table contain one or more metalloids,in addition to metals,nonmetals,or both.
