Flashcards
Molecule
Molecule
A group of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds. They can be composed of the same element or different elements.
Compound
Compound
A substance formed when two or more different elements are chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio.
Noble Gases
Noble Gases
The group of elements in the far right column of the periodic table. They have a full outer shell of electrons, making them very unreactive.

Study Notes
Elements and Compounds
- Elements naturally form ions to achieve a complete/stable electron configuration
- A compound is a substance formed when two or more different elements are chemically bonded together
Families and Groups
- Argon and Neon belong to Group 18 (noble gases)
- Elements in Group 18 have a stable electron configuration (complete valence shell)
- Elements are identified by their atomic number
- Iodine, Bromine, and Fluorine are in Group 17 (halogens)
- The bottom of Group 1 (alkali metals) are the most reactive metals because they readily lose an electron to achieve a stable configuration
Atomic Radii
- Atomic radii decrease from left to right across the periodic table because of increasing nuclear charge. The stronger attraction between the nucleus and the electrons pulls the electron cloud inwards.
