Elaborate on what can be learned about the properties by the location of the element on the periodic table. Use atomic number 17 as an example.

• It is a non-metal, has 7 valence electrons, becomes a cation with a -3 charge and is a halogen.
• It is a metalloid, has 1 valence electron, becomes a cation with a +1 charge and is an alkali metal.
• It is a non-metal, has 7 valence electrons, becomes an anion with a -1 charge and is a halogen.
• It is a metal, has 7 valence electrons, becomes an anion with a -1 charge and is a halogen.
