Across
  1. 4. Repeating patterns of properties across periods.
  2. 5. Group 2 metals; reactive; form +2 ions.
  3. 6. Weighted average mass of an element’s atoms.
  4. 8. Negatively charged ion (gain of electrons).
  5. 9. Horizontal row; properties change across as shells fill.
  6. 12. Atom or group of atoms with a net charge.
  7. 14. Pure substance made of only one kind of atom.
  8. 16. Group 18 gases; very unreactive and stable.
  9. 17. Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.
Down
  1. 1. Outermost electrons that drive bonding and reactivity.
  2. 2. Element with mixed metal and non-metal characteristics.
  3. 3. Central block metals; good conductors; typical metallic properties.
  4. 5. Group 1 metals; very reactive; form +1 ions.
  5. 7. Number of protons; defines the element.
  6. 10. Group 17 nonmetals; very reactive; form −1 ions.
  7. 11. Positively charged ion (loss of electrons).
  8. 13. Vertical column; elements share similar properties.
  9. 15. Smallest unit of matter that retains an element’s identity.
