  • Proton number = bottom number = number of electrons
  • Neutrons = mass number - number of protons/electrons
  • A non-polar bond is when electrons are distributed evenly.
    A polar bond is when the electrons are not distributed equally.
    ->The element with the higher electronegativity attracts shared electrons more strongly making it partially negative.
  • Group of element= number of electrons on outermost shell.
    Period= amount of shells it has.
  • An element is classified as "s-block" because the orbital on its outermost shell is S.
  • Aufbau principle states that electrons fill the orbital with the lowest available energy state.
