What subatomic particle is not inside the nucleus?
Electrons
Group 1 has ________ valence electrons and is also know as __________ __________.
The electrons in the outermost sehll
Valence Electrons
Group
Where are the electrons located?
electron cloud
These are the rows in there periodic table.
Period
What is the mass and charge of the electron?
1/1870 amu and negative
This group has a full outermost shell with 8 valence electrons.
Noble Gases
Valence electrons are responsible for weather atoms become positive or negative ions. Explain why group 16 will form negative ions and group 2 will form positive ions.
Group 16 has 6 valence electrons therefor it will gain 2 electrons and become negative ion. Group 2 has 2 valence electrons therefore it will lose 2 electrons and become a positive ion.
The number of Valence electrons correspond to the :
a. group number
b. atomic number
c. period number
Why does every group want to be like the noble gases?
They want to complete their outermost shell and become chemically stable like the noble gases.
