7. Form compounds 8. Group 18 do not make compounds 9. Diatomic molecules- two identical atoms (O2)
B. Families of Nonmetals Carbon family- Group 14- 4 valence electrons Nitrogen family- Group 15- 5 valence electrons Oxygen family- Group 16- 6 valence electrons Oxygen can combine with most elements Halogen Family- Group 17- 7 valence electrons Noble gases- Group 18- do not gain or loose valence electrons Hydrogen- simplest element- not grouped
C. The Metalloids Seven elements some characteristics of metals and nonmetals Ability to conduct electricity Semiconductors- some conditions can carry electricity
