100

Halogens are in which group on the periodic table?

17

200

This subatomic particle has a negative charge.

Electrons

200

As the period number increases down a group, the number of electron shells increase as well, causing an increase in what? (think trend)

Atomic Radius

200

These are the horizontal rows on the periodic table.

Periods

200

These elements are always found left of the staircase on the periodic table.

Metals

300

Group Numbers tell us what about an element?

The number of Valence Electrons.

300

These elements are always found to the right of the staircase on the periodic table. 

Non-metals

300

Which group are the alkaline earth metals found in?
