Match it! Select the correct answer from the pull down...Good luck!

If I wanted to find out which elements on the periodic table have similar chemical properties and characteristics, which of the following would be the best approach?

Elements rarely exist in pure form in nature. (True or False)

Valence electrons are the only electrons in an atom of an element that participate in chemical bonds. (True or False)

A covalent bond would involve _________________.

Why are Noble Gases (Group 18 Elements) stable?

A(n) _________________ tells us the number of atoms of each element in a compound.

A __________________________ is a force that holds two or more atoms together in a molecule/compound.

Elements are organized on the periodic table in vertical columns, called groups. What can groups tell us about the electron configuration of an atom of a particular element?
