What is the difference between protons, electrons, and neutrons?
Protons are positively charged, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons don’t have a charge
How many valence electrons are in Alkaline Earth Metals?
2
What is an Ionic bond?
Nonmetal + Metal
What are valence electrons?
The outermost shell of the atom and they are able to interact with other atoms to form chemical bonds
Which elements are the least reactive?
Noble gases
How many valence electrons does the Nitrogen group have?
5
What is the difference between stable and unstable isotopes?
Stable have a nuclei and are non-radioactive
Unstable have an unstable nuclei and are radioactive
Which elements are the most reactive?
Alkali metals
What bond is a covalent bond?

What are characteristics of an Anion?
- Negatively charged
- More electrons than protons
What are “groups”?
Each vertical column in a periodic table. Each element in a group has the same number of electrons in their outer orbital
What is the electrical conductivity for metals, metalloids, and nonmetals?
High for metals, varies for metalloids, and low for nonmetals
