Across
- 3. each horizontal rowof elements on the periodic table
- 6. a Russian chemist, discovered a pattern to the elements in 1869
- 7. "happening at regular intervals"
- 8. unreactive nonmetals and are in Group 18 of the periodic table
- 10. British scientist, determined the number of protons in an atom
- 12. forms a wide variety of compounds
- 13. less reactive than alkali metals are
- 18. another commonly found member of Group 16, can be found as a yellow solid in nature
- 19. gas at room temperature, makes up about 80% of the air that you breathe
- 20. very reactive because their atoms need to gain only one electron to have a complete outer level
Down
- 1. each vertical column of element on the periodic table
- 2. most abundant element in the universe, found in large amounts in stars
- 4. elements in Group 1 of the periodic table
- 5. states that the repeating chemical and physical properties of elements change periodically with the elements' atomic numbers
- 9. makes up about 20% of air, necessary for substances to burn
- 11. found to the left of the zigzag line on the periodic table
- 14. most common element from Group 13, most abundant metal in Earth's crust
- 15. found to the right of the zigzag line on the periodic table
- 16. elements of Group 3 - 12
- 17. called semimetals, elements that border the zigzag line on the perioidc table
