B

"hard, black, shiny material then suddenly changes to brown powder" = metalloid; 2 energy levels; conducts electricity and heat poorly; used in control rods for nuclear reactors

Al

Most abundant metal in the Earth's crust; 3 valence electrons, 13 protons

S

bright yellow crystals

Cl

burns your nostrils and throat; diatomic halogen

He

clear gas; turns voice high pitched a squeaky; atoms of this element are also molecules
