| A | B |
| maleable | can be pounded flat |
| ductile | can be stretched into wires |
| conductor | good material for electricity and heat to move through |
| metals | conductors, malleable, ductile |
| brittle | breaks rather than bends |
| doesn't move electricity or heat | non-conductor or insulator |
| dull, non conductors, brittle | non metals as solids |
| react with water--burn or explode | alkali metals |
| combine with alkali metals to make salts | halogens |
| tend not to bind with other elements | noble gasses |
| smallest element | hydrogen |
| sometimes conduct electricity | mettaloids |
| smallest part of atom | electron |
| part of atom with positive charge | proton |
| tells you how many protons in an atom | atomic number |
| tells you sum of protons and neutron in an atom | atomic mass or weight |
