100
This element has less protons than magnesium and has 7 valence electrons.
Fluorine
100
This chemical family tends to be very reactive nonmetals because the elements have 7 electrons in the outer level.
What are Halogens?
100
This Russian chemist arranged the elements according their atomic mass number and based much of his information on predicting patterns of similar characteristics of the elements.

What is positive?
200
This element is located in the 6th energy level and has 2 valence electrons.
What is Barium?
200
Elements of this group are quite "happy" because they have completely filled outer levels. They are also nonreactive.
