Elements classified as Alkali Metals
The 6 elements classified as "Alkali Metals" are located in Group 1 elements of the Periodic Table. Elements classified as Alkali Metals are very reactive metals that do not occur freely in nature. Alkali metals are soft, malleable, ductile, and are good conductors of heat and electricity. The Alkali Metals are:

• Lithium

• Sodium

• Potassium

• Rubidium

• Cesium

• Francium

Elements classified as Alkaline Earth Metals
The 6 elements classified as "Alkaline Earth Metals" are located in Group 2 elements of the Periodic Table. Elements classified as Alkaline Earth Metals are all found in the Earth’s crust, but not in the elemental form as they are so reactive. Instead, they are widely distributed in rock structures. The Alkaline Earth Metals are:

• Beryllium

• Magnesium

• Calcium

• Strontium

• Barium

• Radium

Elements classified as Other Metals
The 7 elements classified as "other metals" are located in groups 13, 14, and 15 elements of the Periodic Table. All of these elements are solid, have a relatively high density and are opaque.
The "Other Metals" are:

• Aluminium

• Gallium

• Indium

• Tin

Elements classified as non-metals
The 7 elements classified as "non-metals" are located in Groups 14,15 and 16 of the Periodic Table. non-metals are not easily able to conduct electricity or heat and do not reflect light . Non-metallic elements are very brittle, and cannot be rolled into wires or pounded into sheets. Non-metallic elements exist, at room temperature, in two of the three states of matter : gases (such as oxygen) and solids (such as carbon).
The Non-Metal elements are:

• Hydrogen

• Carbon

• Nitrogen

• Oxygen

• Phosphorus

• Sulfur

• Selenium

Elements classified as Halogens
The 5 elements classified as "Halogens" are located in Group 7 elements of the Periodic Table. The term "halogen" means "salt-former" and compounds containing halogens are called "salts". The halogens exist, at room temperature, in all three states of matter - Gases such as Fluorine & Chlorine, Solids such as Iodine and Astatine and Liquid as in Bromine. The Halogen elements are:

• Fluorine

• Chlorine

• Bromine

• Iodine

• Astatine

Elements classified as Noble Gases
