This property is the ability an element has to attract an electron.
What is electronegativity?
These are the outermost electrons orbiting the nucleus of an atom.
What are valence electrons?
This group of elements conducts electricity well.
What are metals?
This is the energy released when an atom gains electron.
What is electron affinity?
These are regions of space around the nucleus where an electron is most likely to be found.
What are orbitals?
This group of elements are so reactive they are only found in compounds in nature.
What are alkali metals?
This is the distance from the center of the nucleus to the outermost energy level of an atom.
What is atomic radius?
Electron orbitals can be broken further down into these.
What are sub-shells?
This group of elements are unreactive, or inert, gasses.
What are the noble gasses?
What is ionization energy?
This is the written description of the orientation of electrons within an atom.
What is the electron configuration?
This group of elements are in group 7 of the periodic table.
What are the halogens?
This physical property increases from right to left on the periodic table.
Metallic property.
This is the remaining charge of an atom following the addition or removal of electrons.
This group of elements can conduct electricity under certain environmental conditions.
What are metalloids?
