This is a type of element that is usually a gas or a brittle solid at room temperature, not malleable or ductile and is a poor conductor of heat and electricity.

What is a non-metal?

300

This is a type of element that shares some properties of metals and some of non-metals; located along the Periodic Staircase.

What is a metalloid?

400

This is the columns on a Periodic Table that arrange the elements by the number of electrons that are in the outer shell; elements are grouped by their chemical and physical properties.

What is a group or famliy?

500

This is the rows in a Periodic Table that separate elements based on their energy levels.

What is a period?

Locations, Locations, Locations

100

These are the metals that go from groups 3-12 of the Periodic Table and properties of finding valence electrons are different that other elements.

What is Transition Metals?

200

These are the non-metals in group 18 of the Periodic Table that are not reactive.

What is Noble Gases?

300

These are the metals in group 1 of the Periodic Table that are the most reactive group of metals. They form a +1 ion.

What is Alkali Metals?

400

These are the non-metals in group 17 of the Periodic Table that are most reactive group of nonmetals. They form a -1 ion.

What is Halogens?

500

These are the metals in group 2 of the Periodic Table and are most likely to react with group 16 of the Periodic Table. They usually form a +2 ion.

Table Trends

100

This is the reason atomic radius increases as you go down a group.

What is more electron shells?

200

This term means love of electrons, and increases as you go across a period.

What is Electronegativity?

300

These metals have the lowest and highest ionization energies (listed in order of smallest to largest) of the alkaline earth metals?

What are Radium (Ra) & Beryllium (Be)?

400

This non-metal has the largest radius of the halogens.

What is Astatine (At)?

500

This is the reason why atomic radius gets smaller as you go across a period in the period table.

What is greater nuclear charge (more protons)?
