one of the premier chemist of his time.
2. _______________ A table of the chemical elements arranged to help us understand the behavior,
reactions and properties of the elements.
3. _______________ Is the vertical divisions of the elements in the periodic table.

5. _______________ Is the positive or negative difference between the number of electrons
associated with an atom in a chemical compound and the same atom in an element.
6. _______________ The amount of energy required to remove the most loosely held electrons from
an isolated gaseous atom.
