| electrons found in the outermost energy level | valence electrons |
| electrons involved in chemical reactions | valence electrons |
| name a factor that determines how strongly a nucleus attracts a valance electron | number of protons in the atom---greater number, greater attraction |
| name a second factor that determines how strongly a nucleus attracts a valence electron | distance separating nucleus from electron---greater the distance, the smaller the attraction |
| name a third factor that determines how strongly a nucleus attracts a valence electron | number of electrons located between the nucleus and the valence electron---great number of electrons, smaller the attraction |

| numbers above a family tells what | number of valence electrons |
| numbers found before the periods tell what | energy levels for atoms in that period |
