atomic symbols.
atomic sizes.
atomic weights.
chemical properties.
Atoms of elements that are in the same main group have the same number of
protons.
neutrons.
valence electrons.
protons and neutrons.

On the right side
In the middle column of the periodic table
In the bottom two rows
Halogen elements form
Anions.
Cations.
Metals.
Semiconductors.
Alkali metals are extremely reactive because they
have very small atomic masses.
are not solid at room temperature.
have one valence electron that is easily removed to form a positive ion.
have two valence electrons that form compounds with calcium and magnesium.
Most halogens form compounds by
gaining an electron to form an anion.
losing an electron to form a cation.
losing protons.
joining with both calcium and carbon.
As one moves from left to right across a period in the modern periodic table, elements become
smaller.
lighter.
less metallic.
more unlike each other.
