The side of the periodic table where most of the metals are
What is the left side?
This is another name for the elements in group 18
What are noble gases?
Another name for each horizontal row of the periodic table
What is a "period"?
This is the charge that any group 2 ion will have
What is +2?
This is the Lewis Dot Structure for an ION of Flourine (F)
What is... [F]- (with 8 dots around the F in pairs)
The side of the periodic table where most of the non-metals are
What is the right side?
This is an atom's "purpose in life" that it must do in order to become stable
What is fill its outer shell?
The thing that all elements in the same group/family have the same number of
What are valence electrons?
This is the charge that any group 17 ion will have
What is -1?
This is the Lewis Dot structure for Oxygen
What is... O with 6 dots (two pairs and two lone electrons)
Metals always want to do this with their valence electrons
What is give them away?
These are the two ways an atom can accomplish it's goal in life
