7. The Reactivity of Elements Elements can combine together in a chemical reaction to form mew substances. Not all elements react easily whilst others are very reactive. Elements can be arranged according to how readily they react. This is called the REACTIVITY SERIES . E.g. Potassium is the most reactive metal whilst Gold is the least reactive metal
8. THE PERIODIC TABLE Scientists have organised all of the Elements into a chart called the Periodic Table. The elements are arranged in order depending upon their Physical Properties( such as Density) and their Chemical Properties ( such as Reactivity).
9. THE PERIODIC TABLE PERIODS: The elements with in a period have dissimilar properties from left to right across any period, the physical & chemical properties of elements change from metallic to non metallic along a period. There are seven periods in periodic table.
10. THE PERIODIC TABLE GROUPS: The vertical columns are called groups Basically there are eights groups (I to VIII) but each group is further divided into “A” & “B” sub groups.

13. METALS AND NON-METALS Metals Non-Metals Usually hard and shiny. They are usually difficult to melt and are good thermal and electrical conductors. Usually gases or solids that melt easily. Most are good insulators as they are poor thermal and electrical conductors. The solids are often powdery or brittle.
