Across
- 2. When a metal and nonmetal form a bond, the metal will give away electrons to the non-metals
- 5. Good conductors of energy(heat and electricity)
- 6. When two or more non-metals form bonds, they share electrons between them
- 8. The vertical columns found in the middle of the periodic table, specifically in the d-block
- 9. When a substance reacts and one or more new substances are formed
- 12. A Russian chemist who arranged the elements based on their atomic mass, he is credited with developing the periodic table of elements in 1869
- 15. An arrangement of chemical elements organized based on their atomic number, electron configuration, and recurring chemical properties
- 17. Poor conductors of electricity
Down
- 1. Elements that have properties intermediate between metals and nonmetals, found along the zigzag line on the periodic table
- 3. Chemically inert elements in Group 18 of the periodic table, characterized by low reactivity and are typically gases
- 4. The number of protons ONLY found in one atom of a specific element
- 7. The horizontal rows on the periodic table. Elements here have their valence electrons in the same shell
- 10. A group of highly reactive elements in Group 1 of the periodic table; They readily lose 1 valence electron
- 11. They are an atom's outermost electrons
- 13. A substance that cannot be broken down into any simpler substances
- 14. Anything that has mass, including all solids, liquids, and gases.
- 16. When an atom gains or loses an electron
