Across
- 4. these are elements in Group 2 on the periodic table
- 8. electrons found in the outermost energy level of an atom
- 9. vertical columns on the periodic table
- 10. these elements are located in Groups 3-12 on the periodic table
- 13. the total number of protons + neutrons in the nucleus
- 14. horizontal rows on the periodic table
Down
- 1. arranged in increasing atomic number, so that elements with similar properties fall in the same column
- 2. subatomic particle with a negative charge
- 3. indicates the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom
- 5. these are the most reactive metals on the periodic table; located in Group 1
- 6. subatomic particle with a positive charge
- 7. subatomic particle with no charge; located in the nucleus with protons
- 11. these elements are not reactive because they have a full outer energy level; located in Group 18
- 12. these are the most reactive nonmetals on the periodic table; located in Group 17
