Front

What is the significance of the periodic table's columns (groups)?

Back

Elements in the same column have similar chemical properties and the same number of electrons in their outer shell.

Front

What is the significance of the periodic table's rows (periods)?

Back

Elements in the same row have the same number of electron shells.

Front

What is an electron shell?

Back

An electron shell is a grouping of electrons surrounding the nucleus of an atom.

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

Atoms tend to bond in such a way that they have eight electrons in their valence shell.
