Define 'mixture'

Back 4

Two or more different types of elements but not bonded together

Front 5

Give the mass and charge for
Protons
Neutrons
Electrons

Back 5

Front 8

How is the periodic table arranged?

Back 8

In ascending order of atomic number

Front 9

Define 'group number'

Front 10

Define 'period number'

Back 10

The number of shells

Front 11

Why do elements in the same group act similarly?

Back 11

They have the same number of outer shell electrons which determines it's chemical properties
