Section 8.4- Electron Configurations and the Periodic Table

electrons in the same ___________ have similar electron configurations, resulting in similar properties

the order of filling subshells may be obtained from the periodic table, going from ____________ to ____ across the table and from ___________ to _____________

the highest-energy occupied subshell can be determined by the

knowing the number of _________ in an atom is important because they determine chemical properties and are generally the electrons involved in chemical bonding

for main group elements, the number of _____________________ equals the ones place of the group number

transition metals generally have __________ valence electrons

since elements in the same group have similar valence-shell electron configurations, they should also have similar
