Across
- 7. An element with characteristics between those of metals and nonmetals; also called "semi-conductors"; located between metals and nonmetals on the periodic table
- 8. A representation of an atom consisting of its chemical symbol with surrounding dots representing valence electrons.
- 14. A table with all the chemicals arranged
- 16. The law that states that the properties of the elements vary with their atomic numbers in a regular, repeated pattern.
- 17. An element that is typically dense, solid, ductile, malleable, highly conductive, and chemically reactive, especially in the presence of nonmetal elements. Metals are located on the left end of the periodic table
- 18. A Row in the periodic table of the elements; also called a "series"
Down
- 1. An element from either of 2 rows usually placed below the periodic table; a member of either the lanthanide or actinide series. It has 2 valence electrons
- 2. A Measure of an element's ability to attract and hold electrons when bonded to other atoms
- 3. Any groups 13-16 in the periodic table; so named because they contain metals, nonmetals,and metalliods. They're usually the first element in the family
- 4. AN elements in Group 2 of the periodic table having 2 valence electrons that tends to lose easily to become a 2+ cation
- 5. An element in Group 1 of the Periodic Table having 1 valence electron which can easily to form a 1+ cation making it reactive
- 6. Any electron in the outermost energy level of a neutral atom. Usually involved in chemical bonding
- 9. An element that has 4 or more valence electrons and doesn't exhibit in the general properties of metals; located on the right side of the periodic table
- 10. An element in Group 18 on the periodic table having eight valence electrons that fill the outer energy level
- 11. Another name for "Family"
- 12. Any elements in group 3-12 of the periodic table, having one or two valence electrons, which easily loses resulting in cations
- 13. A column of elements in the periodic table having similar valence electron arrangement, resulting in similar chemical properties; also known as a group
- 15. An element in group 17 of the periodic table having 7 valence electrons. Easily forms a 1- anion making it highly reactive
