the same number of electrons in the outermost energy shell of their atoms
the same number of electrons
the same atomic size
the same electronegativity
Considering the element with atomic number 4 and atomic number 9 on the periodic table. Give the reason(s)/cause(s) for these elements to be different in a) reactivity, b) forming ions, and charges of these ions. (4 points)
The group of elements characterized by needing only 1 electron to fill their valance shell are the _______

alkali metals
halogens
noble gases
The work of Henry Moseley led to a rearrangement of the periodic table originally created by Dmitri Mendeleev. Moseley's new arrangement successfully predicted the presence of undiscovered elements. Moseley's arrangement of the periodic table was based on the properties of elements and ____
increasing atomic number
decreasing atomic number
increasing mass number
decreasing mass number

phosphorus atom
chlorine ion with 1- charge
chlorine atom
