Across
- 2. - Each row represents one period; the period number of an element indicates how many of its energy levels house electrons
- 4. - Metals are located on the left of the periodic table, and nonmetals are located on the upper right they are good conductors of electricity
- 7. metal - they are very reactive, electropositive, monovalent metals forming strongly alkaline hydroxides.
- 8. gases - exhibit great stability and extremely low reaction rates
- 10. metal A nonmetal is an element that is generally a poor conductor of heat and electricity.
- 11. - A group of electrons circulating around a nucleus or a molecule
Down
- 1. - elements with properties intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
- 3. electron - a single electron or one of two or more electrons in the outer shell of an atom that is responsible for the chemical properties of the atom.
- 5. earth metals - they are very reactive, electropositive, monovalent metals forming strongly alkaline hydroxides.
- 6. - They are reactive nonmetallic elements that form strongly acidic compounds with hydrogen from which simple salts can be made.
- 9. level - Each row represents an energy level. The elements in each column share similar properties and the same number of valence electrons
