group 1 are…?
very reactive metals
group 2 are…?
metals that form ions which always have a 2+ charge
transition metals are…?
typical metals
what are metalloids?
elements that have both properties of metals and non metals
what do electronic structures relate to?
the positioning of elements in the periodic table as it is ordered from the smallest amount to the biggest amount of electrons
why are noble gases unreactive?
the atoms of noble gases already have complete outer shells, so they have no tendency to lose, gain, or share electrons
what is the trend in boiling point of the noble gases(group 0)
boiling point increases down group 0
