Part 2 - Modified True or False - If the statement is false, replace the underlined word with a word that makes the statement true.
____________________ 16. The electron configurations of all elements in Group 1 end in s1.

17. In
the electron configuration for the outer energy level of potassium, 4s1,
the
coefficient 4 indicates the group number.
____________________
18. Elements
such as silicon are called metalloids because they have properties of both
metals and nonmetals.
____________________ 19. Atoms with full outer energy levels are very reactive.
____________________ 20. Elements with three or fewer electrons in the outer energy level are usually metals.
