Across
- 3. an atom or group of atoms that has a positive or negative charge
- 4. a nonmetal in Group 7A of the periodic table
- 5. When elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number, there is a periodic repetition of their chemical and physical properties
- 7. one half the distance between the nuclei of two atoms of the same element when atoms are joined
- 9. any metal in Group 2A of the periodic table
- 11. any metal in Group 1A of the periodic table
- 13. n element in the lanthanide or actinide series; the highest occupied s sub-level and nearby f sub-level of its atoms generally contain electrons; also called inner transition element
- 14. a chemical element in the d-block of the periodic table, though the elements of group 12 are sometimes excluded
- 15. any group of atoms with a positive charge
Down
- 1. an element in A group in the periodic table; as a group these elements display a wide range of physical and chemical properties. In their atoms the s and p sub-levels in the highest occupied energy level are partially filled.
- 2. an element in Group 8A of the periodic table; the s and p sub-levels of the highest occupied energy level are filled
- 6. the energy required to remove an electron from an atom in its gaseous state
- 8. the ability of an atom to attract electrons when the atom is in a compound
- 10. any atom or group of atoms with a negative charge
- 12. an element that tends to have properties that are simular to those of metals and nonmetals
