Rows

Valence

Periods

Groups

Explanation: 18 vertical groups share valence electrons. Group 1 reactive metals. Group 17 reactive nonmetals. Group 18 stable gases.

#3. Periodic table rows called?

Periods

Families

Groups

Blocks

Explanation: 7 horizontal periods. Atomic number increases left→right. Period 1: H-He. Period 2: Li-Ne.

Protons only

Electrons

Shells

Protons + neutrons

Explanation: Nucleus 99.9% atom mass. Proton ≈ neutron ≈ 1 amu. 12C: 6p + 6n = 12 amu standard.

#5. Symbol K = ?

Potassium

Krypton

Kevlar

Krypton

Explanation: K (Arabic “qali”). Potassium group 1. Nerve/muscle function. Banana: 422mg medium fruit.

#6. Noble gases group number?

Explanation: Group 18 (rightmost): He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn. Octet rule complete valence shells. Chemically inert.

Group 2

Group 17

Group 18

Group 1

Explanation: Group 1 (leftmost column): Lithium, Sodium, Potassium. Most reactive metals—1 valence electron easily lost (M → M⁺ + e⁻). Stored in oil, explode in water.

#18. Symbol for Oxygen?

Explanation: Oxygen single atom “O.” Respiration essential: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O. 21% atmosphere, 65% human body mass.

#19. Chemical symbol for Hydrogen?
