What are electrons? Where are they found?
Electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles
they are found in a cloud region around the nucleus
What are protons? where are they found?
Protons positively charged subatomic particles
they are found inside the nucleus
What are neutrons? Where are they found?
Neutrons are neutrally charged subatomic particles found in the nucleus
How do you get mass number?
protons + #neutrons
What is an isotope?
Atoms with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons
How is the periodic table arranged?
Groups (columns) and periods (rows)
What does group number signify?
The number of outer level (valence) electrons
What does period number signify?
The number of energy levels occupied by electrons
What are the maximum number of electrons in each level
Two, eight, eight, eighteen
Are atoms negatively or positively charged?
Neither, atoms are electrically neutral. the number of protons equals the number of electrons
When are neutral atoms unstable?
When their valence level is not full

Positive ions
Do nonmetals gain or lose electrons?
Do they become positive or negative ions?
Gain electrons
Negative ions
