chemistry vocab review

an element in an "A" group, as a group these elements display a wide range of physical and chemical properties. In their atoms, the s and p sublevels in the highest occupied energy level are partially filled

the ablity of an atom to attract electrons when the atom is in a compound

one-half the distance between the nuclei of two atoms of the same element when the atoms are joined

one of a class of elements that are good conductors of heat and electric current, tend to be ductile, malleable, and shiny

the energy required to remove an electron from an atom in its gaseous state

any atom or group of atoms with a positive charge

an element in group 8A, the s and p sublevels of the highest occupied energy level are filled

any metal in group 1A

an element that tends to be a poor conductor of heatr and electic current; generally have properties opposite of metals

an atom that has a positive or negative charge

highest occupied s sublevel and a nearby d level generally contain electrons

any nonmetal in group 7a

any atom or group of atoms with a negative charge
