Alkaline Metals All of the Alkali Metals are very reactive. They are found in group IA. None of the alkali metals are found on the earth due to the fact that they react easily. There are six elements in the alkali metals family.

Noble Gasses Any of the elements in Group O of the periodic table, including helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon, which are monatomic and with limited exceptions chemically inert. Also called inert gas.

Non Metals Non-Metals are found in the same groups as other metals, with the exception being hydrogen (group IA). The are poor conductors of electricity and heat. Non-Metals are not very dense. Non-metals obviously have a non-metallic luster and can be transparent or translucent. These eleven elements are either gases, liquids, or solids.

Other Metals Other Metals are found in groups IIIB through VIB. They are also good conductors of electricity and heat. Metalloids also have a metallic luster and are opaque. All are solids.

Lanthanide Series Lanthanide Series include atomic numbers 58 through 71 in group IIIb of the Periodic Table. Although they closely resemble LANTHANUM and each other in their chemical and physical properties, lanthanum (at.no. 57) is not always considered a member of the series.

Actinide Series Actinide series contains the radioactive metals. Actinide Series are atomic numbers 89 through 103, in the group IIIb of the Periodic Table.

Transition Metals The transition metals, consisting of 30 elements, are the largest family in the periodic table. They generally conduct Heat well. They are also good at conducting electricity. The transition metals have a metallic luster.

Alkaline Earth Metals Alkaline-earth metals are the elements in group IIa of the Periodic Table. They are softer than most other metals and react readily with water.

NEW SUPER-HEAVY ELEMENTS 116, 118 CREATED From: CNI News -- Vol. 5, No. 8 -- June 16, 1999 A few months ago, Russian and U.S. researchers announced the creation of element 114. Although previously discovered superheavy elements always decay within seconds or less, element 114 reportedly lasted 30 seconds before decaying, lending strong support to the theory that an "island of stability" should exist at approximately that point in the progression of elements. Now, researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California say they have created several atoms of element 118, which decayed within milliseconds to element 116, another previously undiscovered element. That atom then decayed to element 114 and kept decaying down to at least element 106. Despite their swift decay, these new superheavy elements also strengthened the notion of an as-yet unachieved "island of stability." A theoretically stable isotope of element 114 might contain 184 neutrons, several more than the isotopes so far created. It remains unclear what kinds of exotic properties a stable superheavy element might have. Controversial "UFO mechanic" Bob Lazar has said that a stable isotope of element 115 was the fuel used in an alien spacecraft he allegedly examined near Nevada's Area 51 a decade ago. No form of element 115 has yet been created in a human laboratory. A new method used to create element 118 represents a breakthrough that could lead to more such achievements with greater ease than has previously been possible. According to nuclear chemist Ken Gregorich, leader of the Lawrence Berkeley team, "We were able to produce these superheavies using a reaction that, until a few months ago, we had not considered using. However, theoretician Robert Smolanczuk (a visiting Fulbright scholar from the Soltan Institute for Nuclear Studies in Poland) calculated that this reaction should have particularly favorable production rates. Our unexpected success in producing these superheavy elements opens up a whole world of possibilities using similar reactions."
