This is a molecule of two hydrogen atoms (H2). What part of an atom determines how it bonds to others?
Electrons.
An atom's electrons (number, arrangment) determines how it will or won't bond with other atoms.

The word "atom" comes from the Ancient Greek ἄτομος (átomos), which means..... what?
Uncuttable
Indivisible

What does "periodic" mean, and how does it describe the Table of the Elements?
Periodic describes something that happens at regular intervals, creating a pattern. Elements in the Periodic Table form patterns in their order, period, and group.
400
This is an oxygen atom. How many bonds can it make with other atoms?
2 bonds.
(It needs 2 more electrons to have a complete outer shell of 8, so it can make 2 bonds)
400

These are atom from three Noble Gases - Helium, Neon, and Argon. Based on what you know about atomic structure, why are they called "noble" gases?
These elements are "Noble" because with full outer shells, they are not reactive and are stable, reliable, safe.
Aka Noble.
500
Which atom will be more reactive?
Atom A is more reactive.
This is because A's outer electron shell is almost empty. Atoms whose' outer shells are almost empty or almost full are more reactive.
500
What is an Ion?
An Ion is an atom that has missing or extra electrons.
An Ion is an atom that has a positive or negative electric charge.
500
What was Ms. Reed's upbringing like?
What is that she grew up rurally, with no running water and had to use an outhouse.
