Periodic Trends Worksheet
Except for hydrogen and helium, most elements want to fill their orbitals so that they have a stable Octet (8 electrons in their outermost
shell). Atoms do this by bonding to other atoms. Review the Happy Atoms app or physical models for each atom listed below to determine how many
valence electrons each atom has and how many it needs.
