A(n) _____________ is one of the basic substances that are made of atoms of only one kind and that cannot be separated by ordinary chemical means into simpler substances.
What is an element

The periodic table is arranged by ____________.
What is atomic number. number and properties can count. Atomic mass will count if students can explain that this is how Mendeleev arranged the first periodic table based on the mass of hydrogen relative to the masses of other elements.

400
Electrons are found spinning around the nucleus of an atom in these discrete areas
What are electron orbitals or shells
400
The noble gases are very stable and unreactive. This is due to their ____________ outer shells that contain _________ valence electrons with the exception of Helium which contains _____ electrons.
What is complete outer shells and 8 valence electrons and 2 valence electrons for Helium.
400
Electronegativity is an atoms tendency to pull electrons toward itself. I general where do we find the most electronegative atoms/elements. Hint: These are atoms that are close to having their outer shell filled.
What is the upper right corner before we reach the noble gases. Oxygen, Flourine and Chlorine are very electronegative and will pull electrons toward themselves to gain a complete outer shell.
400
A __________ bond occurs when a metal and a nonmetal transfer electrons to create stable outer shells. The transfer of electrons results in a change in charge to either a positive or negative charge. The force of attraction between these charges holds these atoms together in a solid crystalline structure.
What is an ionic bond.
