3. **Isotopes**
- Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.
- Have the same atomic number but different mass numbers.
- Examples: Carbon-12, Carbon-13, Carbon-14.
2. **Non-metals**
- Located on the right of the periodic table (except hydrogen).
- Can be solid, liquid, or gas at room temperature.
- Poor conductors of heat and electricity.
- Examples: Oxygen (O), Carbon (C), Sulfur (S).
3. **Metalloids**
- Located along the zigzag line on the periodic table.
- Have properties intermediate between metals and non-metals.
- Examples: Silicon (Si), Germanium (Ge), Arsenic (As).
2. **Valence Electrons**
- Electrons in the outermost energy level (valence shell) of an atom.
- Determine an element's chemical properties and bonding behavior.
2. **Covalent Bonds**
- Formed between non-metals.
- Electrons are shared between atoms to achieve a stable electron configuration.
2. **Noble Gases**
- Group 18 elements with full valence electron shells.
- Generally inert (non-reactive) under normal conditions.
