Groups and Periods Flashcards
Study and remember the different groups and periods of the Periodic Table. (178 cards)
Identify the group.
Group 1
Hydrogen is a unique element that does not fit neatly into any specific group.
It is often placed in Group 1 since it has one valence electron like the alkali metals, but it is not a metal itself.
