These are also called families, the columns of elements in the periodic table

What are groups?

100

This group contains the most commonly used metals, 1 or 2 valence electrons.

What are transition metals?

100

These are generally gases or soft crumbly solids

What are nonmetals?

100

He organized the known elements into a periodic table and left specific locations open for elements that he predicted would be discovered (and were!)

Who is Demitir Mendeleev?

Lewis Dot Diagram

Draw the Lewis Dot Diagram for Chlorine. See answer key

200

These are special electrons in the outermost energy level

What are valence electrons?

200

They are chemically uniform,, "salt-producing," very reactive. Non metals.

200

These are semiconductors, lustrous, but brittle.

What are metalloids?

200

This group is very chemically reactive, we do not find them in nature in their pure metallic form.

What are the Alkali metals?

400

These are generally good conductors or heat & electricity.

What are metals?
