Across
- 3. These structures both have the same number of valence electrons and same atom position, but different electron positions.
- 4. This is the energy released when an atom in a gas phase accepts an electron - this periodic trend decreases from top to bottom and increases from left to right.
- 7. Elements in period three and higher can have more than eight electrons.
- 8. The distance between the nucleus of an atom and the valence electrons, in which this trend increases from top to bottom and decreases from left to right.
- 9. This is the minimum energy required to remove an electron - this trend decreases from top to bottom and increases from left to right.
- 10. Some electrons can have less than eight electrons, in which they do not achieve a full octet and this is okay.
- 11. This element does not achieve a full "octet" but rather a full "duet."
Down
- 1. Electrons in these bonds are NOT shared equally between two atoms.
- 2. Electrons in these bonds ARE shared equally between two atoms - often times between identical atoms.
- 4. The ability of an atom to attract electrons toward itself in a bond - this is a trend of the periodic table, in which it decreases from top to bottom and increases from left to right.
- 5. A bond between a metal and a non-metal, which is an interaction between ions.
- 6. When comparing the neutral atom with an ion, cations are smaller and anions are larger - this periodic trend increases from top to bottom and decreases from left to right.
