non-metals   found to the right of the staircase on the periodic table, dull, brittle, do not conduct electricity  
🗑
octet rule   atoms want to have 8 electrons in their outer shell to be stable  
🗑
oxidation number   the total number of electrons that an atom either gains or loses in order to form a chemical bond with another atom  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
