Term
alkali metals
Definition
-group one
- one valence electron so alkali metals are very reactive
Term
alkaline earth metals
Definition
-group two
- two valence electrons so they are reactive but not as reactive as alkali metals
Term
transition metals
Definition
-groups 3-12
- not as reactive as alkali and alkaline earth metals.
- behave differently than other metals
Term
noble gasses
Definition
- group 18
- exist as single atoms because they aren't reactive so they are therefore stable.
Term
halogens
Definition
- group 17
- most reactive nonmetals because they have seven valence electrons.
Term

Term
what organization system in the periodic table can help you get the number of valence electrons?
Definition
groups
Term
Ions
Definition
an atom,radical, or molecule that has gained electrons. can have a negative or positive charge.
Term
cations
Definition
positive ions
Term
anions
Definition
negative ion
Term
what are the three categories of elements?
Definition
metals,nonmetals, and semiconductors
Term
metal
Definition
an element that is a good conductor of electricity and heat
Term
nonmetal
Definition
an element that is not a good conductor of electricity and heat
Term

Definition
elements conduct electricity only under certain conditions
