End of the Year Science Review

The Modern Periodic Table of Elements is arranged by

• atomic mass
• atomic number
• valence electrons
• number of isotopes

The vertical (up and down) columns in the Periodic Table are called

• groups

• towers

• periods

• atomic numbers

What does the 6 represent?

• atomic mass
• atomic number
• element name
• chemical symbol

What does 12.011 represent?

• atomic mass
• atomic number
• element name
• chemical symbol 

________________ is an arrangement of elements by their atomic numbers, usually in rows, so that elements with similar atomic structure (and therefore similar chemical properties) appear in vertical columns.
