A neutral atom will have the same number of ——- as ———.
Protons as electrons
How to remember neutral atom has same number of blank as blank?
NEutrons. E comes second. So Protons as electrons. So PE

Define valence electron
An electron in one of the outer shells surrounding the atom.
How do u know how many valence electrons there are for an atom, by looking at the periodic table.
It is determined by group/ family number…. It goes in order by 1 2 then skips to the boron family where it is three, four, five, six, seven, and eight.
How do you know the number of valence shells by looking at the periodic table?
It is determined by periodic number
Elements have the same number of valence electrons have similar ………
Chemical and physical properties
When do elements have same chemical and physical properties?
When they are located in the same group/ family.
All atoms strive to have —— valence electrons.
Eight
What is the name for having ——– # of electrons?
Octet
