What do all elements in the same row of the periodic table have in common?
They have the same number of shells of electrons.
1 of 12
What do all elements in the same column of the periodic table have in common?
They have the same number of electrons in their outer shell(and therefore have similar chemical properties).

3 protons, 3 electrons and 4 neutrons.

Why are some atomic masses not whole numbers?
Some naturally occurring elements are made up of 2 or more isotopes so their relative atomic
8 of 12
Why do atoms join together to form compounds?
To get a full outer shell.

How is sodium chloride formed?
The sodium atom transfers its outer shell to the chlorine atom, producing a pair of oppositely charged ions that stick together by electrostatic attraction.

Describe an ionic bond.
A metal looses electron(s) to a non-metal. This results in the metal becoming a positively charged ion and the non-metal a negatively charged ion. These oppositely charged ions then attract.
