Across
- 2. Tendency of an atom to attract electrons to itself when it combines with another element.
- 4. The possible locations around an atom where electrons having specific energy values (quantum number) may be found. Divided into sublevels s, p, d, and f.
- 7. represent the number of valence electrons.
- 9. Absorbed when an electron moves from its ground state to its excited state.
- 11. Atomic Mass Number - Atomic Number
- 12. Atoms of the same element which have a different Mass Number due to a differing number of neutrons.
- 14. When filling sublevels other than s, electrons are placed in individual orbitals before they are paired up.
- 15. If there are two electrons in an orbital, they must have opposite (paired) spins.
- 16. Tendency of an atom to attract electrons to itself when it combines with another element.
- 20. The center of an atom. Contains the protons and neutrons.Has an overall positive charge.
- 21. Energy given off in the form of light by an excited electron.
Down
- 1. the most probable location for finding an electron.
- 2. A shorthand method of writing the location of electrons by sublevels.
- 3. Vertical Column on the periodic table.
- 5. Atoms or groups of atoms with a charge.
- 6. Positively Charged Ions.
- 8. Principal energy levels are broken down into these...
- 10. Negatively charged Ions.
- 13. Depends on the number of energy levels and the overall charge of the nucleus .
- 16. Negatively charged subatomic particles.
- 17. Neutrally charged subatomic particle.
- 18. Identifies an element. The number of protons.
