6-9, 15-17, 34, 35, 53 (the C to I staircase)
reactive nonmetals
group 18 EXCEPT FOR 118
noble gases
*not usually found as ions, thus have no charge
109-118
unknown properties
ion (ex. Na+)
lone element
lost an electron, is now charged
polyatomic ion (O - N = O)
covalently bonded elements
contain an extra electron, and thus a charge
what happens to charges across the table?
they stay the same
