Here are some MORE facts about me.
I am in the chemical family's of (transition) metals on the periodic table.
The properties of transition metals are:
- we can be shaped and bent easily
- we are (normally) tough, firm, and hard
- we are good electricity and heat conductors
- we can form coloured compounds
- we have high melting points (except mercury, you weirdo)
- we have high densities
- we are less reactive than out temperamental friends the alkali metals
Some properties of period 4 elements:
- we are all stable (We are not going to just randomly combust like our friends the alkali metals and halogens)
- many of us are essential for you humans survival (calcium, zinc)
- most of us are found in or around the earths core and crust
- most of us are extremely strong and can be used in industry (especially me!)
- most of us are a sliver-grey colour
- we are surrounded by toxic elements
There's not much to be said about group 8 elements. We are all so different and are not as interesting our more famous distant neighbors, groups 1,2,17,18. Although, I can say we are all metals.
On a side note: I am the supreme over lord (ruling) element in group 8!!!
