Atomic Structure and Ionic Bonding

Recall the properties of Group 0 elements, specifically their low melting and boiling points, state at room temperature, and general chemical inertness.
Explain how the properties of Groups 1, 7, and 0 fundamentally depend on their outer shell electrons and predict properties from observed group trends.
Explain the relationship between an element's chemical reactions, its electron arrangement, and its atomic number.
Relate the fundamental atomic structure of metals and non-metals to their respective positions in the Periodic Table.
Describe the nature and structural arrangement of chemical bonds within ionic compounds.
Explain ionic bonding as the transfer of electrons creating strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions.
