- atomic structure (location and charges of protons, neutrons, and electrons)
- group/family names on the periodic table
- identifying group/period numbers on the periodic table
- reactivity patterns on the periodic table
- that elements in the same group have similar chemical properties
- elements in the same period have the same number of energy levels
- elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons
- location of metals, nonmetals, and metalloids
- protons determine the identify of the element
- how to calculate the number of neutrons
- why elements in the Noble Gas family are considered nonreactive or inert
