2) On the periodic table, What are the rows called? What do they all have in common? The rows are called periods. They all have 2 letters in each square 3) What is a shell?
area around the center of an atom. seven shells that hold 110 electrons

4) What are the columns called? What do they all have in common?
The columns are called groups. Elements are arranged in groups by the number of electrons that are in the outside shell.

the nucleus of an atom is the centre of an atom Protons and neutrons live in the nucleus.

7) Define Atomic Number : the atomic number is the number of an element. equal to a number of protons.

8) Define Atomic Mass:

atomic mass total mass of one atom. Its the mass of the protons, electrons, and neutrons together.

9) Choose any 6 elements and find the following information (referring only to the periodic table):
Symbol Californium Atomic number-98 Atomic mass-[251] # protons-[251] # electrons-[251] # neutrons-[251] Symbol Europium Symbol Gold

Atomic number- 63 Atomic mass[151.96] # protons[151.96] # electrons[151.96] # neutrons[151.96]

Atomic number- 79 Atomic mass[196.97] # protons [196.97] # electrons [196.97] # neutrons [196.97]
