Types of Elements
Metals
-
-
Characteristics
Metals Conduct heat and electricity, they have luster, they are malleable, they have ductile, they have ionic and metallic bounding .
How they are used
Metal is used in construction, medicine, electronics, furniture and more!
Bonds
The sharing of many detached electrons between many positive ions, where the electrons act as a "glue" giving the substance a definite structure.
-
Metalloids
Examples
Silicon, Germanium and Antimony are examples.
Characteristics
Metalloids have unusual characteristics. They could form ionic and covalent bonds with other elements and can have metallic and nonmetallic properties. Some metalloids could even conduct electricity better than most nonmetals!
How they are used
Metalloids are used to make brosilicate glass, laundry products, computer parts, automotive parts, car batteries, rewritable optical disks and more!
Bonds
Metalloids and non-metals not only form covalent bonds by sharing, but can form ionic bonds either by losing or gaining electrons.
-
Nonmetals
Characteristics
Nonmetals have High ionization energies, high electronegativities, poor thermal conductors, poor electrical conductors, brittle solids, little or no metallic luster, they gain electrons easily and they are dull.
Halogens
Chlorine, Astatine and Iodine are examples.
How they are used
Combustion, rockets as fuel, in fuel cells together with hydrogen for production of electricity, in respiration, in welding and much more.

Diatomic molecule
The seven elements are hydrogen, oxygen, fluorine, bromine, iodine, nitrogen, and chlorine
Polyatomic ion
Polyatomic ions are created when a number of atoms come to together to form a group, and then that group has either a positive or a negative charge.
