Alkali metals
Soft, shiny metals, react violently with water, has 1 valence electron, becomes stable by losing outer electron
Alkaline Metals
Hard, shiny metals, good conductors, has 2 valence electrons becomes stable by losing their two outer electrons
Transitional metals
Hard shiny metals, very good conductors but less reactive than other metals have anywhere from 1-3 valence electrons become stable by losing these electrons but are slow reactors
Boron group
Has 3'outer shell electrons and becomes stable by losing them
Carbon group
Has 4 valence electrons and becomes stable by gaining or sharing them
Nitrogen group
Has 5 valence electrons and becomes stable by gaining/sharing 3 of electrons
Oxygen group
Has 6 valence electrons and becomes stable by gaining / sharing 2 electrons
Halogens
Very reactive has seven electrons and becomes stable by gaining or losing one electron
Nobel gases
Non reactive have full outer electron she'll so do not need to lose or gain any electrons, colorless and odorless gases
Hydrogen
Acts like a metal but is a nonmetal has one electron and is not stable, when it loses its electrons then becomes just a singular proton
