A stable subatomic particle with a charge of negative electricity
Electron
The periodic table is arranged by ____?
Increasing atomic #
An integer (whole number) equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons of an atomic nucleus.
Ion
An element that does not display the properties of a metal.
Non-Metals
An element's periodic table identity is defined by its number of
protons
A subatomic particle of about the same mass as a proton but without an electric charge
Neutron
Which group is the most reactive group on the periodic table?
Alkali Metals
An ionic species having a negative charge.
Anion
An element that readily forms positive ions (cations) and has metallic bonds.
Metals
The nucleus of an atom is surrounded by
electron cloud
A stable subatomic particle occurring in all atomic nuclei, with a positive electric charge
Proton
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, which determines the chemical properties of an element and its place in the periodic table.
Atomic #
A positively charged ion
Cation
an element (e.g. arsenic, antimony, or tin) whose properties are intermediate between those of metals and solid nonmetals or semiconductors.
Metalloid
A sodium ion, Na+, has a positive charge because it
lost an electron
An outer shell electron that is associated with an atom
Valence Electrons
Which group is the least reactive group on the periodic table?

Noble Gases
Two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei
Isotope
Any element in the d-block of the periodic table, which includes groups 3 to 12 on the periodic table.
Transition metals
The modern model of the atom shows that electrons are
found in regions called orbitals.
The region of negative charge surrounding an atomic nucleus that is associated with an atomic orbital.
Electron Cloud
An integer (whole number) equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons of an atomic nucleus.
Mass #
________ has the smallest mass out of all the subatomic particles.
Electrons
A conductor is an object or type of material that allows the flow of charge in one or more directions. Materials made of ______ are good conductors
Metals
The reactivity of the atom is determined by the atom's number of
valence electrons.
