Across
  1. 3. a chart that organizes all known elements into a grid of horizontal rows and vertical columns arranged by increasing atomic number and arranged by similarities in their properties
  2. 6. a type of group B element that is contained in the d-block of the periodic table and, with some exceptions, is characterized by a filled outermost s orbital of energy level n, and filled or partially filled d orbitals of energy level n-1. This is the short block on the periodic table.
  3. 8. also called rare earth metals; a type of group B element that is contained in the f-block of the periodic table and is characterized by a filled outermost s orbital, and filled or partially filled 4f and 5f orbitals. Composed of the Lanthanide and Actinide Series.
  4. 10. an atom or bonded group of atoms with a positive or negative charge.
  5. 11. an element that is solid at room temperature, a good conductor of heat and electricity, and generally is shiny; most metals are ductile and malleable; form + ions; found to the left of the periodic table.
  6. 12. a horizontal row of elements in the modern periodic table; also called a series.
Down
  1. 1. a vertical column of elements in the periodic table; also called a family
  2. 2. groups of elements in the modern periodic table that are designated with an A (1A through 8A) and possess a wide range of chemical and physical properties
  3. 4. an ion that has a negative charge; forms when valence electrons are added to the outer energy level, giving the ion a stable electron configuration; gained e-.
  4. 5. sometimes referred to as semi-metals. It is an element, such as silicon and germanium, that has physical and chemical properties of both metals & nonmetals; on the zig-zag line.
  5. 7. a positively charged ion; forms when valence electrons are removed, giving the ion a stable electron configuration; lost e-.
  6. 9. elements that are generally gases or dull, brittle solids that are poor conductors of heat and electricity; forms - ions; found to the right of the zig-zag line.
