Periodic Table Trends
Across
- 2. the elements in Group 18 or 8A of the periodic table; have 8 valence electrons
- 3. the 15 elements with atomic numbers from 89 to 103; all are radioactive
- 10. The amount of energy required to remove an electron from an atom
- 11. Elements that are poor conductors of heat and electric current
- 14. the net positive charge experienced by an electron in a many-electron atom; this charge is not the full nuclear charge because there is some shielding of the nucleus by the other electrons in the atom
- 16. metallic elements in group 2 of the periodic table which are harder than the alkali metals and are also less reactive; have two valence electrons
- 18. Groups 3-12, 1-2 electrons in the outer energy level, less reactive than alsali-earth metals, shiny, good conductor of thermal energy and electrical current, high density
- 19. The ease and speed with which an element combines, or reacts, with other elements and compounds.
Down
- 1. a diagram to represent electrons in the outer energy level of an atom; uses the element symbol and dots
- 4. electric force between charged objects depends on the distance between the objects and the magnitude of the charges.
- 5. Distance from the center of an ion's nucleus to its outermost electron
- 6. A repulsive force caused by the similar negative charge of two or more electrons.
- 7. Group 17 or 7A; elements have 7 valence electrons
- 8. The electrons in the outermost shell (main energy level) of an atom; these are the electrons involved in forming bonds.
- 9. Group 1, 1 electron in outer level, very reactive, soft, silver, shiny, low density; Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium, Francium
- 12. elements with properties that fall between those of metals and nonmetals
- 13. Most elements are metals; they are typically solid, shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity.
- 14. A measure of the ability of an atom in a chemical compound to attract electrons
- 15. any of the series of fifteen metallic elements from lanthanum to lutetium in the periodic table.
- 17. one-half the distance between the nuclei of two atoms of the same element when the atoms are joined
