400
The elements in groups 3 - 12.
What are the transition metals?
400
The most reactive element.
What is Francium?
400
Elements found in the same group (column) have the same..
The answer, my good sir, is the same PROPERTIES and the same VALENCE ELECTRON NUMBER?
400
A fluorine atom has 9 protons, 10 neutrons, and 9 electrons. What is the atomic number?
9
500
What is considered the DNA of the atom? Why?
Protons - they identify the atom. The number of protons equals the atomic number.
Atoms can have different numbers of neutrons, they can gain or lose electrons BUT the number of protons for an element will NEVER change.
