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