This is the most reactive group

Group 1 (1A)

100

This element has 12 protons

Magnesium

100

Periods are read this way (up and down OR side to side)

side to side (hint: period comes at the end of a sentence--and sentences are read side to side)

100

This is a positive subatomic particle

proton

100

What does the mnemonic APE mean

Atomic # = # of Protons = # of Electrons

200

This is the direction groups face (up and down OR side to side)

up and down

200

This element has an atomic mass of 12

Carbon

200

Periods tell us this

How many electron shells an element has

200

This is a NEGATIVE subatomic particle

electron

200

What does the mnemonic MAN help us remember?

Mass (rounded) - Atomic # = # of Neutrons
