Multiple Choice
Why are halogens so reactive?
They want to get rid of their only valance electron
They only need one more electron
They are non reactive, they have a full shell
4
Multiple Choice
When trying to identify an unknown element, a scientist determines what other elements reacts with chemically. Which property of the unknown element determines the other element it reacts with?
The total number of neutrons in the unknown element
The total number of particles in the nucleus of the unknown element
The number of protons in the nucleus of the unknown element
The number of valence electrons in the unknown element
5
Multiple Choice
Using the table above, what can you infer about this element?
It is most likely a liquid metal.
It is most likely a solid metal.
It is a metalloid.
It is a non-metal.

Multiple Choice
Why are valence electrons important?
They balance out the charges from the protons.
They are used in bonding.
They keep the atom stable.
They are not important to the atom.
