200
Example: Ni
What is chemical symbol?
300
This equals the number of protons in an atom

300
The abbreviation of an element's name
What is the chemical symbol?
300
Ease and speed with which an element reacts with other substances
What is reactivity?
300
Consisting of two of the same atoms bonded together
What is a molecule?
300
Example: 58.69
What is atomic mass?
400
This is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the atom
What is the atomic mass?
400
These are found on the left side of the periodic table and can be very reactive.
What are metals?
400
The majority of the elements in the periodic table that are good conductors of electric current and heat
What are metals?
400
The highly reactive nonmetals of Group 17
What are halogens?
400
An arrangement of elements showing the repeating pattern of their properties
What is the periodic table?
500
Atoms of an element that have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons
What are isotopes?
500
This can be predicted based on the element's location in the periodic table
What are the properties of the element?
500
Metals that are hard and shiny with high melting points and high densities. Found in Groups 3 to 12
What are transition metals?
500
Neon and Argon are two of these
What are noble gases?
500
The property of metals that are used in computer chips which makes them useful as switches that turn electricity on and off
What is semiconductor?
