What does the period number tell you?
How many shells it has
8 of 14
What does the group number tell you?
The number of electrons in the outer shell
9 of 14
When elements react together what does the atoms try and become?
More stable by having a full outer electron shell
10 of 14
What does it mean if a metal is very reactive?
The electron structure only needed to lose one electron to be stable-to be left with a full outer shell
11 of 14
What does it mean if a metal is unreactive?
The electrons structure already has a full outer shell so doesn't need to gain or lose any electrons
