ERHS Chem Chapter 4 - Periodic Table

The Modern Periodic Table of Elements is arranged by increasing

• atomic mass

• atomic number

• valence electrons

• number of isotopes

What are valence electrons?

• The total number of an atom's electrons.

• Electrons located on the first energy level.

• Electrons not attached to any atom.

• Electrons located in the highest energy level.
