Q

How can you tell if two items are isotopes or different elements

A

The atomic number (number or protons) if it Is the same it is a isotope

27
Q

Horizontal rows are called what?
How many are there
How are they arranged(2)

A

Periods
7 rows
Arranged by energy level and atomic number

28
Q

Vertical columns are called what?
How many are there
How are the arranged

A

Groups/families
18 rows
Arranged by how many valence electrons

29
Q

Why is helium a noble gas

A

Because noble gasses have full shells/rings and are stable

30
Q

What is the purpose of the zig-zag line

A

To separate metals and non-metals and have metalloids touching the line

31
Q

Metal

A
Shiny
Ductile
Malleable 
Good conductors
Left side of the zig zag
32
Q

Non-metals

A
Dull
Powdery
Brittle
Right side of the periodic table
Poor conductors
33
Q

Why do atoms bond use the word noble gases

A

Stone bond to become stable with a full shell noble gases don’t bond because they have full shells and are stable
