- 4. A column of elements in the periodic table of the chemical elements
- 5. Happens when there are more protons than electrons in an atom
- 6. Property of metals and non metals
- 12. The emission of ionizing radiation or particles caused by the spontaneous disintegration of atomic nucleus
- 16. Any of a group of rare gases that include helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and usually radon and that exhibit great stability and extremely low reaction rates
- 17. Can be solid, gas or liquid, cant conduct heat or electricity
