Across
- 5. This is when electrons in the electron cloud have different amounts of energy
- 6. Particles in the nucleus with an electric charge of 1+
- 8. The smallest particle of an element that retains the elements properties
- 9. The horizontal rows of elements in the periodic table; and are numbered 1-7
- 11. Arranged the elements on the periodic table in rows based on increasing atomic mass, and in columns based on elements that share similar physical and chemical properties
- 12. The small, positively charged center of the atom
- 13. Group 1 on the periodic table
- 14. Particles with an electric charge of 1-
- 16. The elements that make up the "stairsteps" on the periodic table
- 17. The vertical columns in the periodic table; they are numbered 1-18; are also called families
- 18. Group 2 on the periodic table
Down
- 1. This is equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom
- 2. The electrons in an elements outermost energy level; determines the chemical properties of each individual element
- 3. Protons and neutrons are composed of smaller particles called these
- 4. The electrically neutral particles in the nucleus; they do not have a charge
- 6. Where the elements are arranged by increasing atomic number, not atomic mass, and by periodic changes in physical and chemical properties
- 7. Group 18 on the periodic table
- 10. Uses the chemical symbol of an element surrounded by dots to represent the number of electrons in the outer most energy level
- 14. The area around the nucleus of an atom where electrons are most likely to be found
- 15. Group 17 on the periodic table
