Groups

• Using this table on your right ONLY applies to elements in Groups 1, 2, 13-18.

• We WILL NOT be talking about elements in groups 3-12 for this exercise! (Transition Metals)

Valence Electrons

The electrons in the outer shell of an atom that are available for bonding are called valence electrons.
